Unfortunately Google also killed their RSS browser extension: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5385089



and the closing comment on this bug points to two new ones. I'm not sure why a bug no one cared about until today is getting people this riled up. I'm a loooong time Reader user and certainly never cared about RSS support in the browser (I used to use the RSS button in Firefox years ago, but that was honestly hit or miss on if it would enter the Reader workflow correctly, so I eventually just always searched for the URL in Reader directly).

This story seems like people jumping at another chance to further shame google on the Reader front, which is fine, but this seems like a somewhat dishonest opening for it, especially considering the directness of the closing comment.


Seems to me that quite a few people wanted it. This doesn't mean that it was wrong to close as WONTFIX, but people dd care about it.
