To subscribe to an RSS Feed using Google Chrome, you must first download an extension. To do this click on the 3 vertical dots to the upper right of the browser, under the x button. Click on settings, then on the left, click on Extensions and then select RSS Feed Reader.

• Paste that URL into the “Add New Channel” section of the reader. The RSS feed will start to display content and regularly update the headlines for you.
