#42Yoleo works well for me. I had to try importing my subscriptions twice because the first time, even after a day, didn't take. The second time worked instantly, though, and the service has been fine since. I do wish there were a full-width listing of articles in summary mode, like Reader had.

So, its "Other" for me.

#44Earlier quoted context omitted.
I really like the Feedly iOS interface for reading, but the app needs some work before it's any good as a primary feed aggregator. The main issue is that it forgets the Google authentication after a few days, even after an update which claimed to fix that issue. That doesn't fill me with confidence that the transition to their backend will be as smooth as they claimed.
I don't like that the web version of Feedly takes over Google Chrome and seems to make it crash occasionally. In the end I have moved to Yoleo, as it is a standalone web app and has a nicer interface.
Agreed, the extension was very invasive and broke Chrome in many frustrating ways. Memory usage was also off the charts, and that's not something I usually pay much attention to in a browser. I'll try Yoleo, I had not heard of that.

#45I started with Feedly, but realized there is no OPML export, which locks me in. This Reader situation taught me to not be locked in ever again. Plus, I'm not entirely convinced the transition from the Google backend is going to be smooth, and I don't care for the interface. The Chrome extension also runs in the background and keeps my LastPass authentications open, a huge, huge security risk. I have since switched to…
The web interface also requires you to install their browser plugin, which is less than ideal if you're using multiple computers.

#46I'm using Thunderbird as I don't really need to read feeds from more than one device.

#47Tiny RSS should be on there.
Works very well, and the best part it's self hosted. You can control the polling schedule.

+1 I just switched due to your tip! I was a bit frustrated at Feedly's interface, because it was not seemless for my reading style (read by feed).
I was just about to set up my own RSS server, but that seems unnecessary now.
