User reviews

Best Chrome-based RSS reader I've found yet as far as compatibility and interface, but it doesn't allow me to select multiple items to clear them, and you can't choose the number of articles it looks for. All that could be added, and it would work for me...

no automatic detection. no automatic info on new feed

Works perfectly with Google alerts. It loads easily too. UI is very, very simple; no frills, whatsoever.
