RSS was already dead long before Chrome was the market leader.

And even if the feed was rendered properly, it's essentially useless without an associated extension or website to aggregate those feeds.

Reader was killed in 2013, Chrome already had ~40% market share by then. It may have not been as dominant as it is now, but Chrome was already a major influence on the web user experience.
