The way that makes most sense to me to implement this in the extensions system is:
a) In C++ use content sniffing to make sure that the content type is always correct for feeds b) Add a feature to content scripts in extensions, so that they can match by content type c) Have a content script that matches the feed content type and uses XSLT to reformat the page into the prettier UI - a On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 5:36 PM, Finnur Thorarinsson <[email protected]> wrote: > I just wanted to give you heads up that soon it will be time for me to > devote most of my time on the second part of the Feed handling support in > Chrome, namely: Feed Previews > (http://dev.chromium.org/user-experience/feed-subscriptions). > Consider this a request for your feedback, especially if you know about the > status of the previous feed preview work or have opinions on the general > direction/approach we should take. > I have already added an API for PageActions and have a working RSS > PageAction extension, which does feed auto-detection on the page.
