Giving up on Safari RSS

I have another problem with my Safari RSS, brand new, freshly installed: it doesn't open any www.apple.com URL or pages... Does anyone know how to fix?

I have to agree with Ken. Bloglines is the best. We're not allowed to install apps at work, so I don't have the luxury of NNW. With BL, I know that my feeds are always in sync (i.e. when I get home I don't have to go through NNW to see what I've already seen in BL.) It's become a must-visit site and I do so multiple times a day.

John: AcidSearch adds the inline search functionality to Safari. I've given up on Safari RSS, too. I'm trying NetNewsWire, but it seems to be very slow - marking 150 articles as read generally means a beachball for a few seconds, and a sluggish response when switching to the next feed. Hopefully that'll be fixed soon (or I'll somehow be able to afford a 2.7GHz PowerMac :)

i gave up the second i saw it was going to be a big fat hassle. and the completely gave up when it didn't work as well as NetNewsWire

I would say that Safari RSS would be good at "getting your feet wet" with the whole RSS concept. After this, then it's time to try out NewsFire, Shrook 2, PulpFiction, and NetNewsWire. Newcomers in the field (and worth the look) are iNews and MiNews. Opera is something to look at too with its mail, newsfeeds, and newsgroups integration.

I tried it out when I first installed Tiger but I like NewsFire better. I do love how Safari RSS has the pref for default feed reader though. Means I can now just click the RSS link to add the feed to NewsFire.

I'm not giving up on Safari's RSS. I never used an RSS reader before, so maybe I'm the wrong person to ask about it. But if it hadn't been for Tiger and the RSS reader built in, I wouldn't have seen this article. Now I check TUAW every 30 minutes... when Safari updates my feed!

While Safari is my primary browser, I never really cared for Safari RSS. I subscribe to nearly 40 feeds, which really doesn't work with the current UI. "Why use another application when you can just use any browser. Any where." Except when you're offline. NetNewsWire caches content (except images) and lets me read entries everywhere. Even when I'm offline.

I was a longtime NetNewsWire user, but it's slowed to a crawl and grown bloated with browser-replicating redundancies. I switched to NewsFire and haven't looked back, but I figured I'd give Safari RSS a try. The verdict? Safari RSS is basically worthless for keeping up with anything other more than a handful of feeds. Its only saving grace is that I can bounce the little blue RSS chicklet to NewsFire.

I'm using Safari RSS in a different way since all of my feeds are handled through Bloglines. When I come to a news site or I'm doing research and looking for a specific article I'll just hit the RSS button and then search through the headlines. Also works well for sites that I enjoy the content of, but can't stand the layout or color scheme (all sites with black backgrounds and white text, I'm looking at you).
