About

This extension auto-detects RSS feeds on the page you are reading and upon finding one will display an RSS icon in the Omnibox, allowing you to click on it to preview the feed content and subscribe using your favorite feed reader.

The extension comes with a few feed readers predefined (Newsblur, My Yahoo, Feedly, Inoreader, The Old Reader) but also allows you to add any web-based feed reader of your choice to the list.
