You'll need Firefox for this free RSS reader to work, but it's worth adding the browser to take advantage of this flexible, intuitive, and easy-to-use program.

RSS Captor defaults to a familiar three-pane interface. While there are numerous options, tabs and a clean, simple toolbar ease the learning curve. The simple but informative Help file should answer most questions. Feeds are listed on the left, a list of stories on the top right, and details on the lower right. Tabs offer quick access to sections where you can set up folders for automatically saved messages and manually saved messages. The RSS Feed tab holds all of your feeds. RSS Captor comes preloaded with more than 10 news feeds from popular sites such as CNN, Forbes, and the New York Times. RSS Captor excels with its options for sorting, filtering, and searching stories. It comes with several groups to organize your feeds, and you can easily add your own. When you select a feed you'll see a list of new feeds with their dates. Select a feed to see the first few sentences of the story. The full story isn't available within the program, but there are quick links to access them through Firefox. Adding a feed is simple, with options to add manually or import from an OPML or RSS file, and you can easily specify how frequently it's checked and to which group it should be added.

RSS Captor doesn't work without Firefox. It's easy enough for the novice to understand, but has plenty of features to keep the more experienced user happy.
