Web Slice

A Web Slice has 9 properties: the Web Slice id, entry title, entry content, end time, alternative display source, alternative navigation, alternative update source, and time to live.

The 3 required properties are: the Web Slice id, entry title, and entry content.

To disable Web Slices on a web page, add:{{cite web|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc196992(VS.85).aspx|title=Subscribing to Content with Web Slices|publisher=Microsoft|access-date=7 February 2010}}

To specify the default web slice on a page with multiple web slices, add:

rel="default-slice"

type="application/x-hatom"

href="id of webslice"

/>

While Firefox does not have built in support for web slices, extensions have been created to give the ability to read web slices.

WebChunks is a Mozilla Firefox 3 implementation of Microsoft Webslices. It allows you to "follow" an area of a web page through a dedicated feed bookmarked in a new toolbar. With Greasemonkey, WebChunks can insert webchunks or webslices markup into any web page so the Webchunks extension handles it.{{cite web|url=http://www.livemint.com/2009/01/28143030/Nice-try-IE8-but-Mozilla-slic.html|title=Nice try IE8, but Mozilla slices better|publisher=LiveMint|first=Sidin|last=Vadukut|date=2009-01-28|access-date=2010-02-11}}{{cite web|url=http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2008/09/webchunks-is-even-better-than-the-real-thing/|title=WebChunks: even better than the real thing|work=Mozilla Links|publisher=Mozilla|date=2008-09-08|first=Percy|last=Cabello|access-date=2010-02-11}}{{cite web|url=http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2008/03/ie-8-activities-and-webslices-for-firefox/|title=IE 8 Activities and WebSlices for Firefox|work=Mozilla Links|publisher=Mozilla|date=2008-03-11|first=Percy|last=Cabello|access-date=2010-02-11}}{{cite web|url=http://lifehacker.com/5046925/webchunks-puts-dynamic-information-from-any-web-site-in-your-toolbar|title=WebChunks Puts Dynamic Information from Any Web Site in Your Toolbar - Firefox Extensions|publisher=Lifehacker|first=Adam|last=Pash|date=2008-09-08 |access-date=2010-02-11}}{{cite web|url=http://cybernetnews.com/ie8-activities-webslices-for-firefox/|title=IE8 Activities & WebSlices for Firefox|publisher=Cybernetnews.com|date=2008-03-11|author=Ryan|access-date=2010-02-11}}

Fireclip is a Firefox addon that lets you "clip out" parts of a website and watch them for changes. It lets you track specific parts of a website in a similar manner to web slices.{{cite web|url=http://www.bspcn.com/2009/12/07/how-to-add-20-best-features-of-other-browsers-to-firefox|title=How To Add 20 Best Features Of Other Browsers to Firefox | The Best Article Every day|publisher=Bspcn.com|first=Varun|last=Kashyap|date=2009-12-07|access-date=2010-02-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100214105032/http://www.bspcn.com/2009/12/07/how-to-add-20-best-features-of-other-browsers-to-firefox/|archive-date=2010-02-14|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireclip/|title=Fireclip|last=Han|first=Ming|date=January 8, 2009|publisher=Mozilla|access-date=15 February 2010|archive-date=12 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121012191225/https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireclip/|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://fireclip.awardspace.info/|title=Fireclip - Take back the web.

Pageslices was another Firefox addon that allowed not only storing parts of websites but also organizing them by adding on custom pages.{{cite web|url=http://pageslices.net|title=Pageslices homepage|archive-date=2011-10-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111031211852/http://www.pageslices.net/|url-status=dead}}

Google Chrome, like Firefox, does not have built in support for web slices. However, the extension API new to Chrome 4 allows extensions to be created to give the ability to relatively simply create arbitrary webslices{{cite web|title=Arbitrary Web Slices|url=http://code.cheesydesign.com/?p=450}} of any content from any page.

Although it was rumored that Opera 10 would have support for web slices, this did not come to pass.{{cite web|url=http://www.favbrowser.com/rumor-opera-10-to-include-web-slices/|title=Rumor: Opera 10 to Include Web Slices|last=Lipskas |first=Vygantas |date=March 17, 2009|publisher=FavBrowser.com|access-date=12 April 2010}}{{cite web|url=http://www.webupd8.org/2009/03/opera-10-to-include-web-slices.html|title=Opera 10 to Include Web Slices?|author=Andrew|date=17 March 2009 |publisher=WebUpd8|access-date=12 April 2010}} Opera does have a "widgetize" feature likened to web slices which allows web pages to be displayed on a user's desktop.[https://web.archive.org/web/20110613205709/http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=296156 Prism-like widget creator - Opera Widgets - Opera Community].
