The RSS Reader on Chrome doesn't appear on the new tab page, it's available via the sidebar. So, how does it work? On Android, you can access your Feed by opening a new tab. The target seems to be Chrome 106, which is set to be released in late September. The engineer also stated that the feature is a work-in-progress, and that the mobile version needs to be improved before it will be ready on desktops. That's quite intriguing, and can be handy for browsing latest articles from multiple sites quickly without sifting through dozens of tabs. She confirmed it, and added that Google Reader will also pull content from sites that don't have an RSS feed. The blog contacted a Google Chrome Engineer, Adriana Porter Felt, to inquire whether this web feed refers to RSS feeds.
The feature was spotted in the browser's source code by About Chromebooks (via Android Police) in ChromeOS 106. And now, the feature is on its way to Chrome for desktop and ChromeOS. In the meantime, let me know what you think this “feed” could be in the comment box below.Google introduced a built-in RSS reader in Chrome for Android last year. Wait for the flag to show up in the Canary version of Chrome and test it out. Now you tell me, which feed is he talking about in the Chrome flag? However, I could find this code change request from the same developer.
The Chrome flag does not mention “discover” anywhere. The next possibility is the Discover feed. I could not verify if this is the API that powers the Follow button on Chrome. One of the code commits from the same developer mentions the following URL: Next is the Follow option from Chrome for Android. It will be tricky to incorporate an RSS feed reader into the side panel. The third candidate is the Discover feed from the Google app and Chrome new tab page on Android. There is RSS feed, and then there is the Follow button I already mentioned. Well, there are a couple of “feeds” in Google’s world. Chrome Flag in QuestionĪs usual, all this starts with an experimental Chrome flag I spotted in Chromium Gerrit today.įeed in the sidepanel: Enables the following feed in the sidepanel. It is quite possible that Google will bring the Discover feed as well to the side panel. Remember the option to follow websites using Google Chrome on Android? Google might be bringing this feature to the desktop version of Chrome.
