Snarfer is a new type of creature. Snarfers are hungry little creatures that crave information! They consume a steady stream of information feeds and store it for their users. Snarfer gets “smart” by accumulating information from many different places and then gives users the ability to read and manage it.

Snarfer is both an application and platform. It has been architected to support Plugins to add future functionality and Skins to deliver user interface customization. These features as well as many others will be exposed in upcoming versions.

    Awesome newsreader. Nice choice of styles for different viewing preferences. Well designed interface. Nothing to complain about here.

    Not sure what ppl's problem is with the browser tab, seems like it should be there to me.

    This is the fastest smoothest loading RSS Reader I have seen, even faster than my favorites, RSSOwl or FeedDemon. Flipping between feeds is instantaneous. 1.0 really brought this application to the front of RSS readers. The sponsor tab is not annoying, and since the developers spend a lot of time on this project, the sponsor tab is no big deal to me. I may soon make this my default reader.

    While I once loved this RSS reader, and still think it's fantastic, the Sponsor Tab is absolutely awful. I would rather see a flashing eBay banner ad than have a permanently open tab.

    The fastest and easiest to use Rss reader I've used. Snarfer is the best!
