Like Brian Reiter’s change from 2010, I’ll let him explain it:
Google has an extension for Chrome that almost does what I want. It discovers the feeds but it will only subscribe them with a web-based feed reader. What I did was hack on the RSS Subscriptions Extension (by Google) so that it would work with Outlook.
His “hack” was to let the extension, when you click subscribe, open a feed URL rather than an http one. That is:
url = url.replace( "%g", feedUrl.replace( /^http:/i, "feed:" ) );
E.g.:
https://github.com/justinkelly/chrome-rss/commits/master.atom → feed://github.com/justinkelly/chrome-rss/commits/master.atom
The reviews on the Chrome Web Store for his packaged version have people thanking him and confirming this trick to work with:
I can’t confirm if any of these still work, but it might be worth implementing this.
