Setting up an RSS reader was the best thing that happened to my browsing habits in years. Can't recommend it enough.

Constant refreshing of half a dozen sites was replaced by occassionally looking into one program. Literally all the sites I read had an RSS feed, even if they didn't advertise it (maybe they don't even realise it). And a while ago I added an RSS feed for replies to my comments here[1], which I thought I might implement myself, but of course somebody already did (thanks!).

In addition, it helps keeping up with blogs I do read, but I don't read immediately, e.g. ACOUP.

It also solved the problem of Firefox Android's atrocious tab handling ([2], basically because I took Firefox out of the equation).
