Einfach gute RSS Feed Reader App. Google meldet, die App wird in Zukunft nicht mehr funktionieren! Warum???

- Doesn't require me to make an account - doesn't redirect me to someone's website to use the RSS feed there - simply uses a chrome-extension:// html page - lets you add a new feed URL - icon is orange when there's a new feed item & is gray when there's nothing new. Excellence in simplicity. Thank you for making a good extension.

Периодически самоочищается. Время от времени, раз в несколько месяцев, без каких-либо моих действий это тупое расширение очищает весь список фидов и сбрасывает все свои настройки.
