openFeeds

openFeeds is an RSS reader designed specifically for helping you gain access to the latest news from your favorite websites. This is a Java-based program, so you need to have the working environment installed on your system.

You can copy the utility on USB flash drives or other portable devices to carry it with you all the time. You can run it on a target computer without administrative privileges. Uninstalling the tool means deleting the files that you have downloaded from the Internet because it does not store entries in your Windows registry.

openFeeds reveals a straightforward design that allows you to build up a list with the preferred feeds. The titles and a part of the news content are displayed in a dedicated panel. You cannot read the entire news content in the main panel but you can open it via your default web browser.

The application gives you the possibility to refresh the information displayed in the primary panel, preview images in a dedicated window or via your web browser, mark all feeds as read or new, as well as get feed details about the title, description, status, language, and date when it was added and last refreshed/published.

What’s more, you are allowed to import/export data, group feeds into user-defined categories, search for podcasts, and delete feeds. Tests have shown that openFeeds loads the information quickly. It is not quite friendly with system resources so the overall performance of the system may be affected.

All things considered, openFeeds delivers an intuitive software solution for helping you stay up-to-date with the latest news. The simple set of features makes it ideal for less experienced users.
