>The extension, which previously placed a small, orange RSS icon next to the website’s URL in the Chrome address bar, no longer functions even on Chrome browsers where the extension is installed and enabled. So how have they disabled it in browsers where it was already installed? Does it use some backend service that they have taken down? Or was it disabled by a silent Chrome update?

It, RSS Subscription Extension (by Google) v2.2.0, is still installed and working in my Chrome. It does not seem to use any backend service. It just reads RSS information on a webpage and creates subscription links for you that go to the RSS webreader of your choice (I've been using Google Reader with it). But, the extension's website has been removed: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nlbjncdgjeocebhnmkbbbdekmmmcbfjd https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nlbjncdgjeocebhnmk... I believe that version (the original) was written by a Google employee, Finnur Thorarinsson (finnur at chromium.org): https://plus.google.com/104317586100499660731/posts https://plus.google.com/104317586100499660731/posts Another extension claims to be a fork, but I don't know any specifics: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-subscription-extensio/dobjkkjbcmhohalobdalmmenogajjlaj https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-subscription-e...

It will be there, but it wont sync to new systems. It will be treated like a local install.
