Comments and Reviews
Liferea has been around for a long time, and it runs very stably. It has a lot of setting options. What I dislike is that you cannot change the background color and font for the reading area. You can only change the CSS file by hand as a workaround.
Looks nice, but for some stupid reason the developer implemented only support for default GNOME proxy so the program doesn't work with others.
A nice, lightweight feed reader for Linux that does the basics: lets you subscribe to RSS and Atom feeds and read the new posts when you feel like it. Does its job, doesn't hog resources, and stays out of the way.
Downsides: Doesn't sync your subscriptions and read/unread status with anything.
