8/7/2023 0 Comments Quiterss youtube![]() ![]() ![]() I've been using an online service for some time now. I used the popular Google Reader until it ceased operation and moved to my current online reader. However, my concern over online privacy continues to grow. I decided to download and try out a native client for the first time in many years. I tried the built in readers for both ClawsMail and Thunderbird and was less than pleased. Neither were intuitive and were sort of tough to set up without email, which I have not switched yet, nor do I wish to set up. They might be fine for email + RSS, but they are not so good for stand-alone RSS. I finally landed on the free and open source QuiteRSS. I am once again an advocate of desktop RSS readers. I'll be paring down my online account for phone and tablet use and will be using QuiteRSS. It's a full featured RSS reader with a built in browser (with ad-block built in!). You have the option of opening items in frame, in a new tab or in your default browser with a simple right click. You can also block images and flash content if you want. It is cross-platform - It works on Macs, Windows, Linux, BSD and as a portable app. I downloaded a OPML/XML file of my subscriptions from my online reader, imported the file to QuiteRSS and like magic it appeared, ready to read. The tool-bars are highly configurable and intuitive. They are also attractive.įiltering and sorting is great. You also have the ability to save and tag posts. Of course, there is also a search function. QuiteRSS minimizes to the systray and has various notifications for new items.
