What this?
- This is a simple RSS/Atom reader that shows headlines on toolbar.
- Because I couldn't find extensions that satisfies me, I made it.
- So, if you want higher one, please use other extensions.
- I think that a ticker style feed reader is good for checking news headlines.
- [Usage] Please place HeadlinesTicker by "Customize Toolbar".
