Force Safari to adopt the new RSS Icon

Feed Icon Mac Specialist offers a quick and easy way to change Safari’s default blue RSS icon to the orange Firefox born symbol (pictured to the right).

Microsoft recently announced it would adopt the icon for IE 7 and its RSS capabilities. Ever since, a new movement to adopt the icon has sprung up, including a website featuring free versions of the icon in all kinds of formats.

While many people are jumping on the bandwagon for this new icon, I remain unconvinced. Rather than a community designed design, our Mozilla and Microsoft overlords are telling us that this is the one symbol. Maybe I’m just being overly paranoid. I’m personally fond of the existing icon and don’t feel the new icon really is an improvement.
