It should be noted that some feeds only have content in them for a very short time (eg a matter of hours). This means your browser would need to be running almost all the time or you could miss content, and you wouldn't realise it. I switched from Google Reader to tt-rss which I run on my home server. That "server" is actually a 6 year old laptop (built in UPS) that consumes a trivial amount of power compared to my machines running Chrome.
