The extension worked fine for a while, but now every time I click it it going into an infinite loop and eats up all the CPU resources on my computer.

This extension has worked great for a long time, but they pushed a buggy version recently that causes the popup window to flash and jiggle and consume lots of CPU.

works fine, but this extension thinks RDF files rdf/xml are also RSS feeds. Should be a bit more precise

i really like this plugin and it's very useful. however there are some minor glitches in it that require the developer's attention, specifically the jerky way the small window loads (it vibrates frantically) and sometimes it is not properly dismissed, so i can see it dancing on the desktop even without the browser windw

Agreed that this should be a built-in function. Also, I need this to actually SHOW ME the RSS feed URLs on the page so I can do more than just Subscribe in GReader. Please make this work EXACTLY the way Firefox's does. Please! In the meanwhile, I'm using Shoyu RSS

Like other reviewers, major problems with the feed selection popup on OS X. Would be a great, vital extension aside from that. Very frustrating that Google is not fixing this very important piece of Chrome functionality, which should be built-in to the browser anyway, really. Also would be nice if you could add apps like NetNewsWire to the reader list, not just web-based services.
