Google Chrome’s new RSS reader is here to stay

[ad_1]

Coming soon to iOS, desktop

We now know who to thank for bringing an RSS reader back to Google’s rotunda. The web feed feature that has been hanging behind a flag in the Chrome web browser for several months has officially gone public.

Adrienne Porter Felt, a Chrome engineer, took to Twitter to tout the ability for Android users to follow sites and read their RSS feeds every time they draw a new tab. Calling it a project that is “near and dear to her,” she said an official rollout is underway, but those who have installed Chrome 94 stable can head to chrome: // flags / # web-feed / and enable the flag manually. Don’t have Chrome 94? Check the Play Store for an update or launch APK Mirror.

From there, users can follow any site with an RSS feed – if not, ask your friendly web developer to make sure they have a tag. up – by tapping the ⋮ icon on the navigation bar, then tapping Follow at the bottom of the menu. Open a new tab to view your new feed.

Vale Google Reader, because it died way before its time, but long live web feeds on Chrome.

Stream tracking will then come to iOS and then desktop much later.
