CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
A true news ticker, InfoRSS is an extension to Firefox and other Mozilla programs that displays the headlines of RSS feeds in the browser's status bar. Users can control the scrolling speed, fonts, and colors. The basic interface is exquisitely simple; users simply drag a newsfeed onto the ticker, and the content is added.
The extension can filter news by keywords and date, but does not have the ability to show full content. For those who are simply looking for a way to keep updated on their newsfeeds while surfing other sites, this may well be a useful tool.
Publisher's description
From Didier Ernotte :InfoRSS is a lightweight, non-intrusive, RSS, ATOM, NNTP and HTML headlines reader for Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape and Thunderbird. The extension installs a small icon in the status bar. The headlines are displayed in besides this icon in the status bar or in a separate bar (top or bottom of the screen). The interface is very simple to use: drag and drop new URL of feed onto the extension icon to add a new feed or click on the extension icon to select a specific feed to read.
The feeds can be grouped to allow multi feed fetch and filter can be used to limit the number of headlines. Version 1.1.2 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
CNET Editor's Note: The Download Now link will prompt a local download of the Firefox extension. To install the extension directly, open the file using your Firefox browser.

Version: InfoRSS 1.1.2
Pros: Easy to add feeds. Nice options. Simplistic and non obtrusive in my window. It works well.
Cons: Seemed a little glitchy when I was resizing it. There wasn't really anything that told me that right clicking on a certain area would bring up a full options window. And it was a certain spot so I had to right click on everything to find it.
