The browser had a built-in RSS button that would display in the browser location bar when any website you're on had an RSS feed available. Clicking the button would then take you to the RSS feed for that web page

How would this work? Do websites with rss feeds normally publish the url to that feed in some standard place? Are there any third party extensions that do it?

Also, some (most?) RSS readers don't need the path to the feed directly. You give them the regular URL and they'll figure it out. TinyTinyRSS does it.
