Is there a good RSS Reader for Linux?

Question

I'm looking for a good RSS reader for Linux, something that is around the same quality as NetNewsWire for OS X.

Is there anything good out there?

Answer 1

Why not use Google Reader?
Works on any platform.
There's even an "Offline Reading" feature now, so no need for an always-on internet connection.

Answer 2

Google Reader is platform independent, and the best RSS reader I've used. Other options I liked on Linux:

• Sage, add-on for Firefox
• Thunderbird

Answer 3

• BlogBridge
• Liferea

Answer 4

For my rss'ing, I currently use thunderbird. I've also found that I really enjoyed akgregator. Very configurable, while also not looking overly "busy" in its ui design.

Answer 5

I use the RSSyl plugin for Claws Mail. I'm quite happy with it so far and I like the fact that I only need one application open for mail and feeds. Of course, Google Reader is even more lightweight, but - at least when I used it - it was too unreliable.

Answer 6

I would suggest the Google Reader.
_{and maybe Chromium if you are adventurous.
We hold our breath for GoogleOS -- for short periods only...
It could become an interesting place.}
