    OK. not bad with the css styles and what not but is not portable as is feedreader. IE, feedreader can run and does not leave files in the apdata folder. Size is smaller, and upon first opening you get a plethora of feed choices unlike this open source project.

    Wow! I just found this program. I've been an avid user of FeedDemon for many years, but I like this much more.

    Standard UI, great options, newsgroup reader....it's perfect for me!

    Fix the use no proxy option. I use and run vidalia and no matter what you tell this it defaults to IE settings.
