Even though we might never see the return of Google Reader, the company has thrown the user of the bone in the form of a new follow button on Chrome. This feature is only available on Android at this time, even though it is now being built a stable browser. Rollup features for everyone taking the company’s test earlier this year.
The new Chrome follow button is exactly what it sounds: a special button that allows Chrome users on Android to follow the RSS website. Updates from websites followed in a new special feed called “following” found on the new tab page, making it easier for users to stay up to fresh content from the website they follow.

If you haven’t seen the follow button, you can activate it manually.
The feature has not made its way to Chrome on my device, but follows the details shared by the Chrome Software Engineer Adrienne Porter feels possible to allow features in less than a minute. Open a new tab and type Chrome: // flag, then look for the term “web feed.”
Tap the drop-down box and select “activated” to turn the follow button, then tap the “Relalunch” button when asked to close automatically and reopen Chrome. The triple-dot menu will display the follow option when Chrome restarts, after point where the user just knocks the button to follow the site they like.
