Cool,man, here is some tips about greatnews that I wanna to share with you.
You can configure greatnews to use firefox by optionâ>usability. Tick box before âopen rss link in external default browserâ.
As in your case, firefox is your default one.
You can also use it as outlook style by ticking viewâ>news list.
After that, once you click on a special feed, you will see all the news you received are displayed in a pane one by one as every single email item looklike.
Hey, thanks for this recommendation! I’ve been using SharpReader for quite a long time and I don’t really like it, because it’s resource hungry and the interface is not really that nice. Now that I’ve tried GreatNews, I think this is the best RSS reader so far! (maybe there are more better RSS readers, but it’s the best out of all the other RSS readers I’ve tried).
Once again, thanks!
Cheers~
welcome andrew, ya i also think that Greatnews is good ..
