What's your favorite RSS reader?
 
I'm not happy with the RSS readers I've tried so far. Bloglines seems kludgy and is hard to manage. SharpReader, which a lot of people seem to like, struck me as bloated and slow, and I didn't like the interface.

So what's your favorite?

Firefox is supposed to have an extension for it but I haven't tried it yet. No favorite really, I'm not subscribed to any.

Firefox's Sage plugin has been my choice for sometime. Simple, small, no-frills. The recent releases of FF support "RSS Live Bookmarks", but I haven't played around with those, yet.

Firefox's live bookmark feature is nice, but it's most likely not what you're looking for in an RSS reader. It doesn't notify you of new articles, it just downloads the headers and puts them under a menu, nice for some sites not for others.

I've been using Thunderbirds RSS feature, but I can't compare it to other RSS readers so I won't recommend it. Also the new My yahoo is basically a RSS reader on a web page. It allows you to accept feeds from any site and put it on your my yahoo page, a very cool feature IMHO.

I've never been able to get any RSS reader to work. I always get the following message:


This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

Scratch that, I got Sage working.

OK, I downloaded Firefox and Sage. (I'd been using Mozilla before.) So far I'm liking it.

Firefox should change your internect experience all by iteself.

Yeah it does have some nice features over Mozilla 1.7.

Now I just need to figure out a clever way to park my list of crap I read out on the Internets somewhere so I can access it from multiple computers. (This was the one thing I really liked about Bloglines.)

I'm using Liferea Feed Reader (Linux).
