I also find it to be a tad faster than FeedReader. I'm currently leaning more towards GreatNews, as it feels like a complete package. Update: Keyboard shortcuts are listed on this page. The font used by the application feels to light for my taste, with no options available to switch to a different font in the program.įeedReader is pretty fast as well, and while it does not have that many features, it still is pretty good when it comes to reading RSS feeds.If there is one thing to criticize, it is the slow closing time of the app. It features the same messaging layout with the rss feed listing on the left, the titles and messages on the right. It requires more configuration than the second RSS reader application that I take a look at later in this article. It can import OPML files which you can generate in most rss readers, including RSSOwl or Google Reader.
#RSSOWL MAC PORTABLE#
GreatNews has a tiny download size of 1 Megabyte, and is available as a setup and portable version. They both do not come near the functionality that RSSOwl offers, but since my main focus is feed reading, I'm not that worried about it. I've been using both for a while, and have not made a decision yet.
With that in mind, I found two candidates to replace RSSOwl as my main rss reader. And some that were, were simply to slow performance-wise and could not keep up with the number of feeds and the updating that I needed. While researching rss reader alternatives for the Windows desktop I noticed that there were not a lot that were still updated regularly. It is a great program and I usually would not have the desire to move away from it, where it not for the fact that it is based on Java, and the only reason that I still have Java installed on the system. If you are a regular reader you know that I'm currently using the Java based desktop rss reader RSSOwl for all my rss feed reading needs.
