Putting a (small) tinfoil hat on, Google intentionally chose to botch the handling of rss links in Chrome because they couldn't collect ad revenue through text-only RSS feeds.
- culopatin 5y agoLook I don’t have sources but I remember Opera being the only browser back then that would handle RSS
- callahad 5y agoFirefox also had native support for RSS: detecting feeds, rendering them reasonably, even subscription via "live bookmarks." Removed in 2018: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/live-bookmarks https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/live-bookmarks
