Version: Sage for Firefox 1.3.6
"Simple, does what is needed."
Pros: This is one of my favorite firefox extensions. It's a lightweight rss reader that automatically finds rss on websites you are viewing. Very easy to customize and use.

Version: Sage for Firefox 1.3.6
Pros: This is an easy, lightweight RSS/Atom feed-reader for people who don't want a whole separate application. It becomes part of the Firefox browser and integrates with the bookmarks. It does the basic stuff without a lot of bells and whistles. This is a good start for RSS beginners.
Cons: Sage is missing a couple of crucial features. First, you can't configure it to automatically check your feeds every x minutes -- you have to click on the "update feeds" button manually. Second, it doesn't remember what you've already read very well. It's kind of buggy in that respect. That's not a deal-killer, though. It works okay if you want something simple.

Version: Sage for Firefox 1.3.6
Pros: I'm new to the world of RSS feeds, etc. Sage was very easy for me to understand and operate. I tried collecting my feeds thru Thunderbird, but found the process clumsy and difficult. Sage worked great from the start, sits neatly in a sidebar and shows me summaries of the content in the main screen. It's simple and effectively handles basic newsfeed activities.
Cons: Every once in a while, some feeds mysteriously stop working. Something about a "parsing error", whatever that means. I have found that it is usually resolved whenever Sage releases an update, so I assume it's a compatibility issue. It's rare, so it hasn't bothered me too much.

Version: Sage for Firefox 1.3.6
"Love it -- simple, fast, stable."
Pros: All kinds of options - preview, tabs, etc.
VERY simple to use - scans pages for feeds.
Very quick - doesn't lag firefox.
Supports various feed types.
No problems with feeds in languages other than English.
Export feature to backup your feeds.
Cons: Have to use Sage export feature for backup, although stores feeds in bookmarks, you can't just export bookmarks, at least that didn't work for me. Very minor though, export/import feature works very well.
