Although many seasoned RSS users have a standalone RSS reader of choice, many people use Firefox to read their RSS feeds. Besides the standard Live Bookmark feature, there are several more advanced RSS addons for Firefox out there, some of them being developed for years now. Time to show you the one that I use.
Wizz
Wizz definitely deserves the title of a “full-featured RSS reader”. It’s available in two modes: it can either sit in your sidebar or freely roam your desktop as a separate window. Both versions have the same basic organization: vertical space divided in three parts: the list of feeds, followed by the list of feed items below and finally the actual content of an individual feed. It doesn’t end at that: a lot of thought has been put into the product, and details, like the ability to middle click an item and have it open in a new window, or feeds opening (but not being marked as read) on mouseover, clearly show this.
There’s also the ability to import/export to OPML, integration with live bookmarks, as well as the ability to save/search RSS feeds and create watch lists. Hell, even the weather is included.
