Chrome's RSS subscription extension resurfaces

A couple of days ago, it was reported that the RSS subscription extension for Chrome had been discontinued. The news caused some more disappointment to users, as it came close on the heels of Google's announcement of the imminent closure of its Reader service. Now, though, the extension has resurfaced. The author of the RSS Subscription Extension (from Google) confirmed in a post that the extension had been "removed by mistake" and that it is back up on the webstore. However, this time he has omitted the Google Reader option for new readers. He explains, "It was not _tied_ to Google Reader, per se, since you choose which feed reader to use -- but I've now removed the Google Reader option for new users to prevent them from getting hooked on Reader and then be disappointed in a few months time."
