Strong disagree. Chrome is the only major browser that doesn't have native support for RSS. Even Internet Explorer does! Hell, it doesn't even understand RSS -- it simply shows the raw XML source.

Because of this, many blogs have links to their RSS/Atom feed with a fat "Subscribe" logo -- on Chrome, when you click that, you get a massive page of unparsed XML.

Whether a given grandma knows what RSS is or not is beside the point, it's lame of Google not to follow a defacto standard that many sites rely upon when there is no technical reason not to.

It seems weird the Chrome works so hard to integrate PDF / Flash / etc. so the users don't have to think about it and really push the envelope with their browser... yet they refuse to even honor RSS.
