Google Chrome Adds RSS feed support, as an extension

Chrome RSS Extension

Chrome RSS Extension

The first thing I complained about Google Chrome was the lack of RSS feed icon on the address bar.  When I am on a page, or a blog, an RSS feed icon next to the site URL is the easiest way to subscribe to the RSS feed. While using Chrome, I had to copy paste the URL of the website or blog to Google Reader, and subscribe from there.

Not anymore !

Google has introduced a new extension, which will come pre-installed in Google Chrome. The extension “adds a button to the URL bar when a page has a feed that can be subscribed to”. When you click on the orange button, the extension previews the feed and it lets you subscribe using a feed reader.

Since extensions are already working on the Development version of Google Chrome, and was recently pushed to beta versions too, we will soon see extensions working on your browser  too. Things will be more interesting with Extensions  support !
