Google is developing the Follow site RSS reader as a new feature for the Google Chrome web browser. Users can quickly view site changes when the functionality is activated since it adds boxes with article headlines to the new tab page.
The follow site function has been planned since last year and was initially made available on the mobile browser. The business is currently extending it to the PC version. In addition to Reading List and Bookmarks, the feature also adds a “Feed” option to the sidebar when activated.
This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to use flags in Google Chrome to quickly and simply enable the RSS reader for any website.
How to enable RSS reader for any website on Google Chrome
Step 1: Open the Chrome web browser on your computer.
Step 2: When the browser opens, go to the following address by entering it in the address bar:
chrome://flags/#following-feed-sidepanel
Step 3: On the page that shows up, select the “Enabled” option from the drop-down menu for the “Following feed in the side panel” option.
Step 4: You will get a notification at the bottom of the browser to relaunch the application. Click on the “Relaunch” button.
That’s it. Once you have followed this step-by-step guide on your Google Chrome web browser, the RSS reader will be enabled on your device. You can now visit the website to which you would like to subscribe to the RSS feed and then right-click anywhere on the page and select the “Follow site” option from the menu.
You can select the Follow site option, you can access the feed anytime later by clicking the side panel toolbar button and then selecting the “Feed” list from the drop-down menu.
