This feature brings one major feature - podcast/media player. This media player is available when you open context menu for any hyperlink in article which you think leads to audio/video file. Simply right-mouse-click your link and select "Play in media player", then media player will open in next tab and start playing.

Full versions of RSS Guard (with QtWebEngine) include libmpv-based media player which can play basically every thinkable audio/video content. Windows build of RSS Guard even bundles yt-dlp binary to allow out-of-box support for Youtube playback.

Lite variants of RSS Guard include slightly lighter QtMultimedia/ffmpeg-based media player, which also can play many audio/video formats.

Qt5-based lite variants of RSS Guard will likely require you to install some system-wide codec pack.
