Google discontinues Chrome's RSS subscription extension

According to the unofficial Google Operating System blog, Google has removed its RSS subscription extension on Chrome from the web store. This one-click subscription extension allowed users to preview feed articles and subsequently subscribe to them. The extension was released in 2010 and it used Google Reader – the Google service that will be gone on July 1. Interestingly, according to this post, Google never introduced native support to feeds. It explained this by saying that since most people were not known to the idea and did not use RSS feeds, an RSS support would suit better at the outset. It adds, "In 5 months, more than 300,000 people installed the extension. More than 1,600 people starred a feature request for implementing RSS detection natively."Click here for full story
