Chrome “Feed” is tantalizing, but it’s not the return of Google Reader

Does Google enjoy teasing and sometimes outright torturing some of its products' most devoted fans? It can seem that way.
Tucked away inside a recent bleeding-edge Chrome build is a "Following feed" that has some bloggers dreaming of the return of Google Reader. It's unlikely, but never say never when it comes to Google product decisions.
Chrome
added a sidebar
for browsing bookmarks and Reading List articles back in March. Over the weekend, the Chrome Story blog
noticed a new flag
in
Gerrit
, the unstable testing build of Chrome's open source counterpart Chromium. Enabling that
#following-feed-sidepanel
flag (now also available in Chrome's testing build,
Canary
) adds another option to the sidebar: Feed.
