Automatic RSS Feed Detector for Google Chrome

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Long has it been lamented that Google Chrome does not have an automatic RSS feed detector. For those of us who use

We Love RSS Feeds Google !

We Love RSS Feeds Google !

Google Chrome as their primary browser the lack of this little and often over looked feature is some what frustrating.

Not any more … Ha. With the release of Google’s extensions for their browser we can now not only enjoy the beauty of the RSS feed detector, but the browser can also read feed data and process it into a human readable format. Goodo.

So go get the RSS Subscription Extension and while you’re at it you might what to get the Google Reader Notifier so that you can see a live update of all your latest feeds.

In fact there are a heck of a lot other extension for Chrome, some useful, some not so much, some annoyingly distracting and some are incredibly useful,  so check them out now it is well worth a peruse.

One point I should make clear, though, is that as much as this is a little song of praise in the general direction of Google, they really need to sort their browser out and make this kind of functionality standard. Even Internet Explore has got this one down! Come on Google you’re making us look bad.

It’s code in the Google code library that essentially is a work around to work in Internet Explorer, ode to the frustration things like this causes it’s been commented with “Because IE sucks”.  But below is the most amusing thing I stumbled across …
