I agree that Flock had a really nice RSS feed reader. But what to do now that Flock has been abandoned? Which of the ones you look at are most like flock?

Brief seems identical to Feed Sidebar ([addons.mozilla.org])

[...] Best Firefox Feed Readers I am currently using the feed ticker. It has issues though, I think, when the feeds you subscribe to get close to 1000 or it may just be the router I am going through. Here is a pretty good rundown of feed readers currently available for Firefox. (tags: feeds rss readers) [...]

But IE doesn’t have a button to add to Yahoo! feeds (or other web service).

From the screenshots, I guessed that Sage looks like the best one. My rant is that most (almost all) websites dont provide full RSS feeds (only partial content). That is what keeps me from using RSS more.

There are good reasons for that though. For some sites they feel that’s the only way to bring readers to their site.

You forgot to mention Brief ([brief.mozdev.org]). This one is really smart. Please add it to your list. (No, I am not involved with this project).

Looks like a nice one, but it would be hard to cover every extension in this article. Thanks for pointing it out though.

I’ve been using ‘Sage’ for years, love it, read all my feeds with it, including CyberNet’s! I’ve tried others but they all appeared in my opinion to be either too simple either too complicated. I agree with Ryan, ‘Sage’ is a good compromise. Very fast, elegant, nice. I’ve even modified some of the many provided stylesheets (available on their website) to have the display in my very personal fragrance : nice brains, nice body!

Sage is really nice for that reason, and I love how everyone has the chance to truly make it their own.

I’m one of the few who likes Firefox’s RSS functionality better than any other browser’s. The reason is because I use Yahoo! Mail for my feeds. W/ Fx, I can preview feeds, and add them straight to Y!Mail w/ just a couple clicks.

Firefox’s preview functionality is really nice, but I think Internet Explorer’s preview is even better. IE gives you all kinds of options to sort the posts as well.

RSS Ticker crashes my whole system from time to time and I have to reboot. This is reproducible but unfortunately noone has fixed it yet.

I wonder how it crashes your entire system? I would think at the very worst it would be Firefox.
