According to clues found by sources about Chromebooks, some code and early UI related to the RSS reader appeared in the development version of ChromeOS 106. Users can subscribe by opening the right-click menu and selecting the new “Follow Website” option.
Users can then display the content of the sites they follow in a ” Feed ” window, but the interface doesn’t work right now. The sources contacted Chrome engineer Adrienne Porter Felt, and the response was “can’t specify”, but the mobile version of Chrome is about to usher in more improvements to the RSS reader, and we can look forward to the Chrome 106 version.
RSS (full name in English: RDF Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication), Information Aggregation, also known as Aggregate Content, is a format specification for news sources, used to aggregate the updated content of multiple websites and automatically notify website subscribers.
After using RSS, website subscribers no longer need to manually check whether the website has new content. At the same time, RSS can integrate the updated content of multiple websites and present them in the form of summaries, which helps subscribers quickly obtain important information and select them.
Microsoft Edge browser is also testing the built-in RSS reader, and the native RSS function has been introduced in the collection function. This feature is named Followable Web, and users can open the collection and click “Following” in the upper right corner to view the subscribed RSS feeds.
