    Ok. So I don't rate this one high enough for your standards. I do agree with what the guy below says. However, I dumped this program due to an RSS feed error. Evidently, the feed that I tried to get was unsupported by this program. Still that don't moch me for dis-ing the programmers on their effort for designing this program, or you the user for using it.

    If they let me, I'd give the program a 9. Picking up feeds would be a 4. But this program is designed to pick up certain feeds, not all of them.

    I am testing now. No bugs detected yet.
    It seems to be great product.
    Graphical user interface is excellent.
    There is need some improvements, but in overall it is great.

    Strangely enough I quit using JeT Brains Omea Reader just this week thanks to its many nasty bugs, frequent issues with database corruption and the lack of interest shown on the developer's forums in recent times. The development seems to be at a standstill and they haven't yet produced a new version of their extension to tie it in to Firefox v2.0...really you've made a very questionable choice.

    I'm keen on the new generation of feed readers that are beginning to include filtering that matches the content shown from the feeds to the users interests and even helps find other suitable feeds based on those interests...this filtering is dynamic and is based on the user rating each article they read...sadly News Interceptor is not offering such functionality.

    Out of interest have a look at Blogbridge for a good example of a more modern reader with filtering in place...and it's Java based making it cross platform rather than being tied to .NET. It also offers free synchronisation between computers via the developer's server so that you can keep a reader on one computer in step with a reader on another computer (home and work for instance.)

    The reader shown here is OK as far as it goes but is limited to .NET and thus not portable and has a lack of the cutting edge features found elsewhere...average and nothing more.

    Nice overall.
    But still prefer other free alternatives not .NET based.
