RSS Feed helps the visitors to subscribe to a particular blog or website to get updates. Visitors subscribe to an RSS Feed using an RSS reader which could be web-based, desktop-based, or a mobile device-based. Today you can hardly find a website or blog without having an RSS Feed. If you are a regular Google Chrome user, you can use any of the following extensions to subscribe and manage RSS Feeds of your favorite blogs or websites:
(Please browse though Google Chrome to install the extensions!)
