Web Slices are a web feed technology based on the hAtom Microformat[1] that allows users to subscribe to portions of a web page.[2][3][4][5] Microsoft developed the Web Slice format, and published a specification under their Open Specification Promise.[1] The specification is not published by any independent standards body. Introduced in Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1, Web Slices can be previewed in a fly-out window.[6] As of 2012,[update] Internet Explorer 8 and 9 were the only browsers to support Web Slices natively, although Mozilla Firefox had support via an add-on called webchunks.[7]
