When chrome came, all other major browsers supported RSS natively. Opera, Firefox, even internet explorer let you view RSS in a readable format back then. Chrome only opened rss as XML.
But they had Google Reader to make up for it, and then they took it down. I blame Google/Chrome for downfall of RSS/Feeds in general. Chrome left all other web browsers behind but never add native RSS reading support. And slowly websites started dropping feeds.
Now they are back at it again with the the trendy word "Follow" which isn't exactly feeds are. Chrome should have native RSS/Atom feeds support. It might revive feeds. I just don't like the whole process and the way they are coming back to it.
