I guess I'm back in the market for a feedreader because #$%# Firefox keeps breaking[1][2] my ( awesome ) feedreader extension[3]. First they moved me off regular Firefox to Nightly because my (entirely private, self-developed) extension is unsigned. Now it's stopped working even on Nightly. And part of me is like why bother fixing it because they're just going to move the goalposts again like they did going from XUL…

Mozilla being busy about taking away the rest of the reasons why we have used FF. :-/

It was never about privacy in my case, it was about a better browser for work, reading and research.

I'm using Feedly. What unique features does NewsBlur have?

NewsBlur is open-source with cloud options. Feedly wastes too much screen real estate, NewsBlur has an AI option to prioritise articles based on your taste.

Can't agree with you on this one, I like Feedly UI more.

It looks cleaner, but it's not as practical as NewsBlur, which is built for speedy consumption. I love that NewsBlur shows me article edits - sometimes they bring a great aspect you don't get by other RSS readers. Its social features beat what Google Reader had in store as well.

I took a peek at Newsblur. This Reddit-ish UI puts me off too (plus no dark theme...), but I can't rule out it beats Feedly in terms of functionality.

I wonder if their mobile app is any good - while Feedly the webapp is ok, Feedly on Android is severely lacking. Always loading news updates when it's opened (doesn't allow you to skip this step), and if you switch away from it, there's no guarantee it'll return you to the same place... lame

After google reader shutdown I switched to http://www.newsblur.com/ as my reader, I recommend and pay for it.

Newsblur does not fit my style of feed consumption, but Inoreader does: https://www.inoreader.com

It took a few years for the world of feed readers, but at least for me I'm as comfortable as with Google Reader now.

+1 for Inoreader. I tried to use also the API for a small personal machine learning project
