Currently, Google is returning RSS to the browser on a strictly experimental basis. This could signal a move away from the pile of information on Facebook and Twitter towards a decentralized information landscape.
Older Internet users will find the new Google experience only moderately – this “experience to help users and web publishers create deeper connections on Chrome,” according to Janice Wong of Google Put it yourself.
Suddenly, two Chrome developers apparently discovered the previously popular sharing standard RSS (Real Simple Syndication). The team now wants to “research” how to more easily get the latest information from your favorite pages in Chrome.
For this purpose, it is expected that some Android users in the US will be able to do so in the coming weeks Canary vineyards See the experimental follow-up post. It looks a lot like social media so it can work. In fact, the well-known RSS protocol would be behind it.

Not just for fans Google Reader, Which brought this form of content distribution to the tournament, but was removed by Google in 2013, Google’s return to RSS is good news. Site operators must also use the old, but tried and tested protocol. Because it allows them to deliver their content directly to consumers after all the walled gardens, and on top of that is Facebook and Twitter.
In the future, Google wants to provide website operators with guidance that will help with the robust implementation of RSS in their variety of channels. If there is enough demand and the resulting success, Google can bring the following back to Chrome via RSS.
That’s why Janice Wong invites publishers, bloggers, authors and advocates for the Open Web to share her blog post. The chances of project success are not bad. After all, Google Reader, which is the RSS feed reader on the web, became the standard between 2005 and 2013.
Its decline and final position were related to the rapidly increasing importance of social networking, which Google promoted at the time.

RSS is fundamentally decentralized and cannot be controlled by individual services. So it fits perfectly with Web 3.0.
