The Wizz RSS News Reader for Firefox is actually a MUCH better feed reading option. It is far richer than Sage, offering many features and options. Like the ability to automatically check feeds for new content, the ability to hide items that have already been read, the ability to filter feeds, etc., etc., etc.

Try it, I’m sure you’ll agree.

AlmondRocks now has automatic feed discovery. I’m very satisfied with them and will be using them from now on. They’re pretty much exactly how I would make an RSS reader if I had the time.

One thing I did notice was an occasional delay in getting new posts. Some of the feeds I added showed the newest post from a month or a week ago, whereas the actual newest post was made a day or so ago. Did anyone else experience this? It may just be a problem with the feed itself.

The OPML export is a must as well as a way to update/configure your own CSS file like the Firefox Sage plugin. I prefer the compact display in Sage.

Ah yes, a notifier extension would be great and also automatic feed discovery so feeds don’t have to be entered manually. I personally like how only feeds with updates are shown as it helps narrow down a large list of subscriptions. Thanks for the comment, Rohit.

Nice find. I would migrate from Bloglines if they:

1. Had a notifier extension for Firefox.
2. Displayed all my feeds, not just the ones that have updates.

Bloglines is very good- I just wish it had a better user interface.
