    Thought it might compare to feedreeder but it just can't for one simple reason. Feeedreeder will allow you to have a direct connection and not just default browser settings like great news which seems to take a lot of memory while it's at it.

    The absolutel best RSS feed reader out there. Better than FeedDemon by a country mile. Only problem is the author appears to have abandoned development, which is typical of so many fine programs (such as WinDates).

    The best feedreader out there, next to FeedDemon. Low processor usage and low memory usage(around 35MBs). Loads up my 50 feeds, that usually have a lot of images, quickly. Also going from feed to feed is smooth, with no or very little pausing. Also has multiple CSS style views that each look nice in their own way. As pleasant or more pleasant than the FeedDemon CSS styles.

    This program has a hard disk activity rate that is way too high for a news reader. Swapping to another category requires intensive thrashing of your hard disk. 3/5 until this is resolved.

    Easy, fast, well-designed, and remains free. I freakin' love it.
