Even better, for a few months the browsers themselves would highlight RSS feeds and allow you subscribe right in the browser. It was too good to last.

I use the Awesome RSS add-on for that in Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/awesome-rss/

Firefox removing RSS support was their capitulation in supporting the open web.

That is very ambiguous phrasing.

Firefox removing RSS support was the nail in the coffin for their support of the Open Web.

How long after Google Reader was canceled did FF remove RSS?

Google shut down Google Reader on July 1, 2013.

Firefox removed RSS support in version 64 on December 11, 2018, approximately 5 years and 5 months later.

Thank you! I would have never looked that up.
