Google hasn’t utterly given up on RSS. Earlier this 12 months, it began testing a Follow button in Chrome on Android, which permits customers to get updates from web sites on the brand new tab web page. As of right now, the characteristic is available within the browser’s secure construct, so all Android customers can attempt it.

If you are operating Chrome 94 or a pre-stable model, you may already see the Follow button within the menu. Otherwise, as Chrome director of engineering Adrienne Porter Felt wrote on Twitter, you’ll be able to swap on the characteristic manually. Go to chrome://flags, seek for “web feed” and allow the setting. Although the Follow button is just accessible on Android for now, Felt suggested it is coming to iOS subsequent 12 months.

The characteristic will not fairly have the identical stage of utility as devoted RSS readers, in fact. It won’t make up for the horrible determination to kill Google Reader all these years in the past both, however it might be a helpful solution to keep on high of updates out of your favourite web sites.
