I have been a long term user and supporter of Firefox, but recently I am becoming closer to the idea of moving across to Chrome, but am stopped by the fact that I cannot find a replacement for my RSS feed Sidebar extension for Google

Feed sidebar in Firefox is a great extension that scans all my favourite sites and provides a 1 line summary of new items in the left hand pane of the browser which I can click on to read, or ignore.

Does anybody know of a Google Chrome extension that does the same thing in a similar manner?

This may not be entirely responsive, however, there are many who are anticipating Google dropping their RSS feed home page feature. I was pointed to Netvibes.com that essentially does the same thing as iGoogle.

There is also a website that makes setting up your netvibes feeds, something like "Three easy steps for refugees from iGoogle" or something like that.

Good luck, it can be done.
