The stand-out feature for GReader users is the starring system that lets you tag posts for later viewing, but I also like the “X” boxes put on each post—instead of marking a post “read” and scrolling past it, you can actually remove it from your view. It’s a lot like Sage, but with a more robust set of features and customization. Brief is a free download and works wherever Firefox 2 and 3 beta do.

I guess the google server can handle more :D (I've got 120 feeds I think) For firefox 3b5 support get the beta version http://brief.mozdev.org/drupal/node/174 I’ve tried brief, it slows firefox down very much if it gets too many feeds at once.

I would appreciate that if anyone tries it they let me know if it works :) Stefan, thanks for your comment to me. Barry Hi All,

Those of you looking for a solution FF3b5 could try here at the developers forum:

I found this the other day when I was trying to set up a Firefox Beta 3 Portable version to report on on my site but haven’t tried it yet.
I would appreciate that if anyone tries it they let me know if it works :)

Stefan, thanks for your comment to me.

Jason: I can confirm this, it didn't work with my FF3b5 either and didn't have the time to search a solution for this. Barry: Finding a read article is indeed cumbersome, you're better off searching it inside specific feeds or the original sites. Regarding the buttons at the bottom of feeds, I had the exact same idea a while back. Turned out, that it is not possible (by decree of the author), but you can still use the double-click to mark it as read. Thanks for your comments!

A couple of things that would make it better for me would be a "Show all Read" option as this would allow a search on all your read items. It's so annoying trying to find a read article!. Also buttons to Mark as Read,(or Unread) and Delete at the bottom of the post would be useful. You can use the keyboard but I like to sit back and use the mouse when I read my feeds. I reviewed Brief a while back if anyone is interested. http://proreviewer.com/2008/04/02/brief-11-firefox-add-on-simple-but-very-effective-rss-reader/ Barry Cleave I use Brief as my main RSS reader as I like the integration in Firefox rather than having a separate reader.
