I always assumed they needed that in order to access the page's code to find the RSS feed. Do they not need to do that anymore? Are they relying on their own backend feed discovery now? I'm curious because ever since the new extension update it seems to take a noticeably slow process looking up to see if the site has a feed; that used to be instant before (and still is with Google's own RSS extension).
