How to Auto Detect, Read and Subscribe to RSS Feeds in Google Chrome

Google chrome still doesn’t support RSS feeds and thus you can not detect the RSS feed of a blog from the address bar (as you normally do in other browsers like Firefox, IE, Safari etc). However here is a neat trick which will let you read, subscribe and auto detect the RSS feed of a Blog or a website from Google chrome.

First things first, go to this website and drag and drop the two bookmarklets in your Google chrome address bar. One of the bookmarklet can be used to auto detect and view the feed while the other can be used to subscribe to the feed in your feed reader (e.g Google reader, Bloglines etc)

Now browse to a blog having a valid RSS feed and hit the Auto detect bookmarklet. You will be shown the links to subscribe to that feed in your feed reader. [ via RWW ]
