Is RSS Subscription Extension (by Google) safe?
Detects RSS feeds on pages and lets you preview or subscribe to them from the Omnibox.
This extension shows an RSS icon in the Omnibox when it finds one or more feeds on the page you are reading. Clicking the icon lets you preview feed content, copy the feed URL, or subscribe with a configured web-based feed reader. It includes Newsblur, My Yahoo, Feedly, Inoreader, and The Old Reader as predefined reader options, and lets you add another web-based reader.
