This adds a “Feed” option to the other side panel actions, which are Reading List, Bookmarks, and Journeys. There’s an experimental feature flag in the ChromeOS Canary channel at chrome://flags#following-feed-sidepanel. It’s difficult to tell, so let’s examine the evidence. I was a heavy user of the app and among the many who weren’t happy to see Google pull the plug.īut maybe it’s coming back, of sorts. It was a fairly popular RSS web app that provided a way to follow website feeds. The question now: Is Google Reader coming back?Īs a refresher, Google Reader was depreciated (a nicer way to say killed in software words) back in 2013. Dinsan reports that the Side Panel in both the Chrome browser and ChromeOS is getting a “Feed” option. In the meantime, let me know what you think this “feed” could be in the comment box below.I’ve been digging deeper into RSS lately, so this article from Chrome Story is rather timely. 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.
