Browsers with toolbar RSS support?

What browsers do you know of that have this feature, outside of FF?

I tried Safari (reader), Opera (reader), Chrome (GoogleReader). I did find IE9 DOES have this support- regardless of the inherent desire to push people to a reader app or not lose advertising revenues (the two main reasons I see simple toolbar RSS going away).
So outside of FF and IE, are there any browsers I can use? Of Safari, Opera and Chrome it does seem that Opera does the best of those 3. Safari opens the feed as essentially a webpage, Chrome pushes you to an external reader but Opera opens up a nice internal reader that isn't too bad and I could see myself using that- I don't want external readers if at all possible. That said, Opera still puts the RSS feeds out of the way in the menu, and I tend to go to RSS feeds FIRST, not treat them as an afterthought.

That feature something I normally use so I am no power RSS user, but Lunascape has a toolbar for RSS. I believe there is also an option for a running ticker of the feeds in the browser.

Although not a toolbar, Maxthon just uses a tab for RSS. Hence, all the subscribed feeds are on one tab. Should the feed be just a headline with a link, clicking on a link will just bring up a new tab within Maxthon.

Thanks for the suggestions. I took a good look at both of them. Lunascape is particularly interesting in it's claim that it's the big 3 browsers wrapped into one.

I'm trying out Chromium with Foxish and ABP. I'm not too convinced yet. Foxish simply immitates the native RSS functionality of FF but it's a hack. I'm happy to see it though. I also found a really good Chromium updater so I'm not stuck on an older build.
With all of this in hand it sounds really nice, so far I haven't found the browser to really trump FF. I've been a FF fan since the 0.98 build and while it's always been a bit slower and clunkier than alternatives like IE or Opera- it always worked better and seemed to be designed the best.

I don't think I can leave FF at this point, but I'm going to see how Chromium goes. The issue remains though, Chrome(ium) is a little too plain for someone who wants a truly flexible browser.

I keep wanting to jump on the Webkit bandwagon but can't find a good Webkit browser. If FF moved to WK it'd be pretty epic, and if they could do so without breaking extensions it'd be fantastic. I'm not sure they'd really benefit from WK.

Hmm so far Chromium is quite the fail in comparison to FF. Seems like a rather scrappy and flimsy experience. FF implements features like RSS in a real and solid way, the Foxish hack/workaround is OK.. but only passable. It's not the same though in how it works. Little things I've come accustomed to don't seem the same, scrolling, opening tabs, I don't believe its any faster, in some cases its slower. I'm going to keep trying out Chromium on my laptop and work PC but my main browser is going to remain FF for the foreseeable future. Esp since rapid release started I've noticed some major changes coming quickly to the release channel. Performance in FF12 !=FF4, thats for sure.
