It’s the same feature: By clicking Follow, you’re subscribing to the RSS feed of a site. That’s when Google added a “Follow” option to Chrome for Android. Travel back to October with me for a second. So why am thinking that in a way, Google Reader is making a comeback, albeit only in the Chrome browser and on ChromeOS? Unfortunately, the Feed view in the ChromeOS side panel still isn’t functional. And I did follow a few sites by using it. I discovered the new “Follow site” choice after updating my Chromebook’s software earlier today. The latest Dev Channel version of ChromeOS 106 adds a “Follow site” menu option. Now, I’m pretty definitely sure the side panel in Chrome and ChromeOS will use RSS ( see update after the post). I wasn’t sure if this upcoming feature was based on RSS or some Google interpretation of it. Earlier this week, I asked the question “Is Google Reader coming back?” That was based on a new “Feed” option in the ChromeOS side panel.
