Yahoo! Search blog has posted that the Yahoo! Toolbar for IE will now detect RSS and Atom feeds just like the Firefox version does.
To make this work, you need to have the v5.6 of the Yahoo! toolbar installed. Then you need to make sure the My Yahoo option is selected under your personal options and that you’re logged in to Yahoo.
Once that’s all done visit a site that has the proper autodiscovery tag for a RSS or Atom feed in place, a blue button will appear in your toolbar. Click on that to add the feed to your My Yahoo! reader.
I appreciate the added feature, but I enjoy the freedom of adding feeds without logging in myself – as in Firefox + Sage.
This new IE Yahoo! toolbar feature addition is good news for IE users since Internet Explorer still has a commanding 90% plus of the browser market. For us Firefox fans, well, you know.
