Kroc, you brought up floppy disks (a reference now removed it seems), I'm just pointing out why they died.
"If RSS dies we lose the ability for one website we read to not know what other websites we read"
This is simply overheated rhetoric. It means no such thing. Even if Mozilla removed bookmarks from their browse, it still wouldn't stop you from memorizing or writing down every single favorite website you enjoy reading and visiting them on a daily basis. As it stands, you can bookmark them, making it even easier. I've never found reading RSS feed content to be particularly enjoyable...I much prefer reading web content on the web. I also enjoy Instapaper, but I realize you think that's an infringement on your privacy.
