The RSS Subscription Extension has also been updated by Google lately. The updated version has removed Google Reader and iGoogle from the list of default feed readers. Here is the description by developer for the same.
This extension auto-detects RSS feeds on the page you are reading and upon finding one will display an RSS icon in the Omnibox, allowing you to click on it to preview the feed content and subscribe.
The extension comes with 2 feed readers predefined (Bloglines and My Yahoo) but also allows you to add any web-based feed reader of your choice to the list.Feedly as default RSS Reader in RSS Subcription Extension
