New Tab Feed Reader

About

Turn every new tab into your personal news feed 📰

New Tab Feed Reader replaces the standard Chrome new tab page with a clean, fast, and privacy-first feed reader for RSS and Atom feeds. Follow your favorite websites, Reddit communities, YouTube feeds, and other supported sources in one place - with no account, no tracking, and no data sent to external servers.

Instead of a blank tab, you get a smart, customizable front page filled with the latest stories from the sources you actually care about.
