RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication." It is an XML-based standard format that many websites use to share their latest news and updates.

A program known as a feed reader can check RSS-enabled webpages and display any updated articles that it finds.

Client-side readers are typically standalone programs that you install on your compter, or they are extensions to existing programs like web browsers. Such programs are available for various operating systems (see list below).

Online (Web-based) feed readers require no software installation and make the feeds available on any computer with Web access.
