I have been using RSS since early 2000s and currently I am settled on Feedly. > Either the built-in web support is poor or it stops fetching the feeds or renders then poorly. I guess I am good with Feedly, and Google Reader and everything before that, is because I dont use the RSS Reader to read the content. I am only using RSS as News Headline [1]. And then will either Command Click, Right Click Open New Tab, Simply Click on it, depending on which OS and browser I am using to open them in a new Tab inside Browser. Which is also the reason why I could end up with hundreds of tabs open. And I read them one by one. For these type of heavy browsing usage I recommend Firefox > Chrome > Safari. So for my usage I actually think RSS should be a function inside a browser. But I know a lot of people use RSS reader differently. [1] Which is also how I use Twitter as well. I simply have a list of people I follow and read those list only. So for me I dont ever understand why people are so upset with the For You Tab. But I guess I am the minority and I use it differently.

i used to use feedly, as they were first out the gate after google reader shut down (word on the street was they had a headsup), but they jacked the pricing and introduced a bunch of needless extra features that i couldn’t turn off, so now i use inoreader. theoldreader is also good

  >but they jacked the pricing and introduced a bunch of needless extra features that i couldn’t turn off, I dont use anything other than the basic and I use it for free. Just curious What features are you looking for? Reading this thread it seems everyone uses RSS so differently I wish we could start another HN thread on this topic.

  another vote for inoreader, closest to the no BS approach as with google reader, just headlines, small summaries, nothing more needed;
