All RSS-readers took heart and began releasing new features. So we collected best Chrome extensions for RSS-reading and present them to you in this article.

RSS Feed Reader

Absolutely must have Chrome extension for anyone who wants to read rss-feed fast and simple. Simple full-functional RSS/Atom Reader without opening new tab and transitions to other sites

 

If you were a fan of Firefox’s Live Bookmarks, which puts an RSS feed right on the bookmarks toolbar, then you’ll love RSS Feed Reader. It instantly tells you when there are new posts on your favorite feeds and makes it easy to subscribe to RSS/Atom feeds. It even has different themes so you can change how it looks.

Tabbed News Reader

If you are Google News active user, this tool helps to read fresh news some faster. It shows 5 recent news from one of Google News categories in a popup. Extension icon is very modest and discrete and will not distract you during work time.

If you like to read news via feeds then Tabbed News Reader is for you. It provides you different tabs so that you can read news according to your interest like World news, Tech news, Health news etc.

Revolver RSS

If you don’t use RSS because short previews not provide fairly complete information, this extension can help you. It allows to automatically switch recent pages from RSS-stream in full-view mode. Very simple, just redirecting you to next page every 10 or more (according to your settings) seconds.
But at the same time you can read only one feed. Link to stream configurable in extension’s settings.

Revolver RSS is something a bit different from other RSS extensions. You can read the feeds by rotating the feeds just we change the channels in TV. While rotating pages, it pauses for many seconds and continue when you want.

SoundGecko

SoundGecko isn’t RSS-extension, but no doubt it’s reader. When I write this article and search “popular rss-readers” in Chrome Webstore I found SoundGecko among other extensions. So I decided to that it will be in this article. After setup you will be able to select any piece of text or whole article and listen it through extension.

 

Local RSS reader

This is an experimental clone of Google Reader.
Client-side is a slightly modified Google Reader, and “Server-side” is the core of this extension. It works without global network connection and it is not dependent on any servers.
