Doesn't work correctly. May or may not show the feed view. Always opens a file save dialog anyway. When I open the feed in a new tab, it closes my new tab, and navigates the previous tab. Looking at the code, I got confused about it seemingly looking for RSS feeds within a page and rendering them. When what I expect is it rendering the feed whichs url is being requested.
