Google rediscovers the RSS feed button
I've found this article through my RSS feeds (one of the places I follow had it linked): https://blog.chromium.org/2021/05/an-ex ... d-web.html
Apparently they're going to put into Chrome a button to add a site's feed to a built-in reader.
I wonder if it will end up like Google Reader or if they'll successfully complete the other two Es of the classic EEE tactic.
In the meantime, I guess Pale Moon and Basilisk can say "I told you the button was useful!"

Re: Google rediscovers the RSS feed button
And now Mozilla has to figure out whether to put it back. They could've just removed live bookmarks if it wasn't being used and retained feed detection, but no.
I wonder if it would be possible for Pale Moon to partner with Feedly as a recommended feed subscription suggestion in the dropdown? Currently it offers 'My Yahoo!' which is probably long since defunct. I don't know if it's possible to monetize it somehow by sending feed subscribers their way.

Re: Google rediscovers the RSS feed button
No harm in asking them. It's not like feeds are still popular beyond any holdouts from Google Reader so they wouldn't mind the extra audience.

Interlink is an awesome feed reader!
Re: Google rediscovers the RSS feed button
Google confuses me these days. It's as if they don't really know what they want either and all of this changing randomly.
Just the Fuchsia situation only ... will they replace Linux?
RSS remind me a bit of the pre-notification days. When I use firefox, I tend to get random websites begging me for
allowing some auto-feed thing. I hate that. Always say no. Never understood how that is useful. But I saw how elderly
people end up with tons of pop-ups even after I installed ublock origin, on the bottom right area on win10. This must
have been a deliberate design decision by Microsoft. They pester elderly people who have beginning dementia.

Another post that is only related to the topic at had by a bare thread. Please don't. If you want to chat about Google or the elderly and big data, please do so in the "off-topic" board.
