macspecialist.org — Microsoft and the Mozilla team have come to an agreement for a standardized RSS feed icon. That's great, but what about us Safari users? Here is an installer to replace the default Safari icon with the new standard icon.

Oh, and they stole that icon from Apple anyway - since it looks just like Apple's Airport icon

Just what the hell does an ugly orange [transmitter] icon have anything to do with "bringing Safari into 2006?"

Right click the safari icon, go to show package contents/contents/Recources/ and change any image you want to whatever you want.

"The 'official' icon is rather poor--as many have pointed out. But, if it's becoming the 'standard' then 'recognizability' trumps 'appropriate iconography'"Rather poor is an understatement. That icon is used all over the place on macs, to any mac user, it has wireless-something-or-other written all over it. Totally different from asking your tech-savy friend what "RSS" means. Not to mention orange clashes *really* bad with blue/white/gray colors that mac os x is built with.Why do we need a standard for this anyway? Why should all browsers have exactly the same user interface? I can see the need for some kind of standard if you're walking about icons on a web page, but this is for web browsers."We still use the floppy disk icon to save files to our hard drive..."*you* still use the floppy disk icon to save files. *we* in the mac world use a menu item called "Save" or a key command called "Command-S". Which is exactly the same user interface that was used when macs didn't have hard drives. Would you like to explain to me how a floppy disk icon is better than the word "save"?

Silly humans, Firefox, Microsoft, and Google are all the same company. Ever heard of a multipronged approach before, or controlling the markets with decoys? MS and Apple had the same deal before (remember Jobs and Gates were good friends who are now "enemies") ok sure. Google and MS teaming up, FIrefox and MS teaming up. MS would love for Firefox to be the biggest browser so that they can get out of the news for being teh one causing all the viruses via IE. It may be a plan to help try to kill open source. Be wary of where you step.

@chris86wmThe vast majority of Mac users.
