Tom’s RSS Reader Roundup

112 words.

Here are my opinions about popular RSS readers, in no particular order. I just wanted to keep these somewhere so I won’t keep re-downloading the same programs over and over again.

RssReader. Okay. Basic functionality, sluggish interface, resource hog.

NewsOwl. Good. Small, classy. No bookmarks for HTML pages, no newspaper view, no history. Don’t like the tabs.

GreatNews. Good. Small, fast. Only newspaper view, and no HTML pages.

Omea. Okay. Complex, sluggish, and a resource hog, but supports HTML pages. Email feature sucks.

BlogLines. Terrible. Web-based. Yuck.

FeedDemon. Trialware. Trial version impressive. Small, fast. Decent email feature. No HTML page monitoring, though. :(

NewzCrawler. Trialware. Don’t know.

Blog Navigator. Trialware. Don’t know.

This page is a static archival copy of what was originally a WordPress post. It was converted from HTML to Markdown format before being built by Hugo. There may be formatting problems that I haven't addressed yet. There may be problems with missing or mangled images that I haven't fixed yet. There may have been comments on the original post, which I have archived, but I haven't quite worked out how to show them on the new site.

Sorry, new comments are disabled on older posts. This helps reduce spam. Active commenting almost always occurs within a day or two of new posts.
