I use Opera as my browser, everytime when I click on the RSS feed button, automatically Opera will add it to the newsfeed. The newsfeeds will check itself every one hour (as setted in the preference) to see if the website is updated or not, if so it will fetch the RSS feed for the updated website. In IE5 there isn't feature for managing RSS. There are still many app for managing RSS, Opera is one of them.

Many people also use the personalized Google or Yahoo homepages, where users can add content by linking to an RSS feed.

Let's say your a business that has new items added frequently (or let's say your ebay and users want to know anytime a new item that has "test" in it's name becomes available), well the feed will show the new item just as soon as you (or ebay) publish it.

That's correct. The rss feed is in xml format. It is now up to you to extract what you want from it and do with it what you want to, like display it on your website.

The Sun rss_utils tag lib does that.

If some browsers decided they will do something else with the xml file resulting from an rss feed, that is up to the creators of that browser.
