I've been using Newsfox for a long time and recently attempted to switch to other feed readers and finally came back.

I love NewsFox's simple and easy to use design. As I discovered while testing other readers, NewsFox makes it easy to bring up all posts in an individual layout, allowing me to enjoy each story on its own.

My big problem is that when it updates, it always freezes up the browser. I was using the feed reader Brief and it managed to update without freezing the browser. (I have 4GB of RAM installed, so this isn't a RAM issue.) On certain feeds, it updates old posts that have not been updated, even when I told it not to update old posts on that feed.

So, much as I hate these faults, I do love what's right with it. I hope it can get better soon.
