Sharon777 on Twitter pointed out a possible problem with either the Camino browser or Google Reader. If you use Camino to browse someone’s Google Reader Shared Items page (such as mine or Whole Wheat Radio’s), an web feed notification icon doesn’t appear in the address bar:
However if you click View Page Source in the View menu, you can clearly see the link to the web feed:
I can’t really think why it shouldn’t find it. Perhaps Camino has trouble with Atom feeds as opposed to RSS. When I have some more time I’ll see if I can reproduce the error somehow.

Yes that is quite a stuck situation for Camino. Maybe you can let the folks at Camino know? I might email them with linkage to this blog post by you.
It’s detected, but the feed indicator is removed almost immediately; it’s almost certain a bug we know about and are already looking into fixing (bug 396847 in bugzilla).
Thanks for the quick reply Stuart! I was going to try to recreate the problem on a seperate page before filing a bug report in case it was an issue with Google Reader, but if it’s already a known bug then that’s all good.
FWIW, Camino is the best browser on the Mac, period. I try Firefox, Shiira and Safari every few months but I keep coming back.
