Hi Guys

Like many on the list I'm a heavy chrome and rss user. Though the demise of Google Reader is no great surprise I was grumpy that Google removed the RSS Subscription extension from the Chrome webstore.

I've forked Google's extension, updated it and loaded back into the Chrome webstore.

Added support for Feedly, NewsBlur and The Old Reader. Removed Google Reader, iReader, My Yahoo

Also code is now up on github

Nice effort. Have decided to move off of Chrome, so preparing Firefox and all.
Me too. Already jumped and Firefox is quite fast and light as compared to Chrome. You'll enjoy it.
thanks - i think alot of others will join you in jumping ship
Awesome, thanks! Can this also bounce the subscribe request to an offline reader like RSSOwl? If not, how hard would it be to implement something like that?
this extension can't at the moment, but there is an extension that does
