It is Chrome's handling of RSS links that is being questioned. If I click an RSS feed link, I would like Chrome to do what Firefox does, namely to present me with the web page offering options for RSS subscription, from which I can select Google Reader.
For example, if the RSS link URL is and I click this in Firefox, the page displayed has the following URL and there is a nice big button that I can click to say 'Add to the Google Reader'. It's no big deal, but in Chrome I have to copy and paste the RSS feed URL into Google Reader.

There's an extension for RSS feed handling. Like the Firefox RSS detection, the Chrome RSS extension will detect RSS feeds available on a web page and displays an icon in the omni-bar that you can click to subscribe. It can be configured to add the selected feed to your preferred reader with or without prompting you.
It's very popular so you should have no problem finding it. The full title is 'RSS Subscription Extension (by Google)'. Thomas Costick 30/1/2010, 2:55 น. Just to repeat an earlier comment, that there.is.
a Chrome extension for RSS feeds. Once installed, an RSS icon is displayed to the right of the address bar when the current page has RSS feeds. If you click this icon, it takes you to your RSS reader.
Certainly works fine with Google Reader. The extension is configurable for any web-based reader. Just ensure you have at least Chrome v4:) The enxtension is very popular so you should have no problem finding it. The full title is 'RSS Subscription Extension (by Google)'.

Surprisingly enough, reading the answers enough it seems that everybody sitting here are either supporters of RSS extension (by Google) or Chrome developers.
Sorry, if it sounds harsh but both the problem and question remains open! Feedburner moved under Google umbrella but still Firefox is better in managing Feedburner's XML RSS feeds than Chrome.
That's the problem - WHY (can anybody answer to this simple question?!?) Chrome/RSS feeds subscription extension re-directs users to web-based RSS readers instead of just pinning the selected feed onto the toolbar (like in FF, for example)?!? MrMiah 1/11/2010, 14:59 น. Very weird the way Chrome (mis)handles RSS. Is this some sort of organized chaos or something? 'Once installed, an RSS icon is displayed to the right of the address bar when the current page has RSS feeds.'
Yeah, we get that. That's not what people are wanting though.
They want a way to access certain RSS feeds from anypage, like, for example, a link in the toolbar a la Firefox or Internet Explorer. In other words, the question is why does Chrome make it so difficult to 'link' to RSS? It is defeating the purpose if I have to navigate to the page from which I want to receive feeds in order to.access the RSS. RSS is supposed to make is easy for me to link me to the page.
I don't need the page to link me to its RSS; aside from setting up RSS that's a pointless endeavor. If I need to find the page FIRST, there's no reason for RSS. Great browser though. Still not crazy about this current fad in combining search/address bar, but I'm trying =) Surya Wijaya Madjid 26/5/2011, 2:33 น.
I have been using Foxish Live RSS for some time. Behave and looks just like Firefox Live Boomarks. Only downside is that Chrome's bookmark api can sync only 200 feed items in an hour which can mean that some entries may get out of date. If Google would up this limit then Foxish would be just about perfect. Another point to note is that I have found that Xmarks seems to somehow cause changes in the Foxish options and gets the Parent Folder entry reset to Bookmarks Bar. Syliplayer, 10:32 น.
I just switched from Mac to windows, and now my browser is chrome. I used to have a lot of rss feeds in my bookmarks bar, which had a little number written next to them, about how many updates there had been since i last checked.
That was really nice, then i didn't have to think about all the different websites i was following to see if there was an update, i just had to read though my bookmarks bar. It annoys me quite a lot that I cant do this with chrome. I mean, the rss feeds are there, why not just make chrome compatible with them, and let people decide themselves, if they wanna use them?
What is that, 1/2 a kb more to the file size? It should not be Googles decision, whether rss is outdated or not. HairyScot, 10:52 น. I had no problems with Foxish apart from the conflict with Xmarks. When I did have a problem I found the developer very approachable and helpful. You can enter details of your problem on the feedback page for Foxish. If you don't get or can't find an answer on the feedback page then email the developer.
He may not respond immediately, but he will respond. You can also try running Espresso Reader with Google Reader.
That works quite nicely. Alternatively run Firefox and Chrome. I now run Firefox, Chrome, and IE9 because each has a feature that is not provided by the others. EllenCarol, 8:07 น. With hopes that Google Support reads their own forums.
I find it the worst sort of design AND customer service to have had this as an active discussion for over 2 years, with no resolution. I, too, go to Firefox to subscribe to RSS feeds and posts.
For my iGoogle pages! The most ironic thing in all of this? I had to go to Firefox to be able to use the RSS button directly below to subscribe to this discussion!!!
I have 12 tabs on my iGoogle page and use it extensively. However, Chrome has few features that will keep me from leaving it behind if this RSS issue isn't resolved. S4br3, 7:43 น.
Installing the Chromeframe plugin for Internet Explorer takes away the built in RSS support in IE. I used to recommend that people install the Chromeframe plugin but this and other problems (Back links not working, etc.) changed my mind. Regarding having to add an extension so that Chrome supports displaying RSS feeds, that is fine for the individual but lousy for web developers when virtually all recent browsers support displaying RSS. Now Google is making us add extra code to detect Chrome and Chrome Frame just to inhibit display of our RSS icons and links because if anyone clicks on them using Chrome they will have an unpleasant surprise.
