Hi everyone,

I have created a bugtracker issue about this, https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/314796728 but I'll also post here to get the attention of the extension team and maybe they can escalate to the relevant people. Over the last few years I have been following the Chrome Developer blog to get updates about upcoming changes to Chrome especially as it relates to the transition to Manifest V3. At the beginning of December 2023 I noticed that my RSS reader started getting errors on the RSS feed for the blog and after navigating to it I saw that the RSS feed url has disappeared from the page source and the old RSS feed url was indeed returning a HTTP 404.

I think it's in the best interest of everyone for Google to maintain this feed with updates about browser changes to make sure that projects depending on Chrome as well as extension developers can get information about relevant changes to them in a timely manner.

I hope someone can provide an update on the status of the feeds.

Thanks,
Adomas, extension developer at Zotero

Hi Adomas,

We now have a feed here which you should be able to subscribe to: https://developer.chrome.com/feeds/

I believe there is currently a slight delay in this updating, and we only have the one feed available for the entire blog, but we're working on improving both of those. All of the upgrades we made to the site unfortunately led to a slight regression here so thanks for your patience as we work through that.

Hi, Oliver,

Thanks for the message! This is great news. It would help a lot if the feed URL was included in the blog posts and the main blog page with a meta tag in the source code.

Thanks,
Adomas
