Like many on the list I'm a heavy chrome and rss user. Though the demise of Google Reader is no great surprise I was grumpy that Google removed the RSS Subscription extension from the Chrome webstore.
I've forked Google's extension, updated it and loaded back into the Chrome webstore.
Added support for Feedly, NewsBlur and The Old Reader. Removed Google Reader, iReader, My Yahoo
Also code is now up on github

At that point, why not just use something open and welcoming instead?
As for Chrome, unless you are willing to go through hoops, it is only willing to install extensions from the Chrome Web Store.
You are now jumping through hoops to reinstall something you had installed which Google removed from their web-store.
Now Google which is your application (Chrome) and service (Reader)-provider, is working against you instead of enabling you. It didn't use to be that way, but now Google has changed.
That's the uphill battle. That's the not enabling part. That's the not open and welcoming. Contrast that to for instance Firefox and you will find a completely different picture.
Firefox has no mixed interests here, and that means they wont pull moves like this.
For the past few years I've been using Google Reader to archive my Twitter and Facebook history for various reasons. Obviously yesterday's news really threw a wrench in everything.
My problem ...
I need a way to export every 'article' from 3 subscriptions I have (not just the subscription URL) and import those into a good RSS reader (open to suggestions). Anyone have any advice?

Assuming you've installed the extension you can grab its source from Chrome .config directory * which I imported and updated to github: https://github.com/justinkelly/chrome-rss
The actual original source in SVN/Git may already be public but i've no idea where it is - somewhere deep in the chromium repo??
As for the original source, it's not in the Chromium repo:
