RSS really simplifies reading news. Having multiple sources in a single place and compact lists are obvious benefits, but even if you only subscribe to 1 site, you&#x27;d save a ton of time simply by not having to rescan over stuff you&#x27;ve already read or decided not to read. Over the past month I&#x27;ve logged out of and stopped going directly to media sites and replaced them with RSS feeds. That&#x27;s including YouTube, which was a pain to do but I only subscribed to about 15 channels. I do fear Google will kill the feed urls at some point.<p>I&#x27;ve been searching for a cross-platform desktop RSS reader. Thunderbird is what I use for now and I would stop looking if I could just filter URLs but the filtering only seems to be built for email, which works if the URL is in the &quot;body&quot; of the feed item, but not all feeds are structured like that (e.g. HN). RSSOwl looks real promising but doesn&#x27;t run for me on Windows 10 and hasn&#x27;t been updated in 2 years. I&#x27;d prefer a standalone RSS reader, not a email client with RSS tacked on. I looked at everything in the comments so far but they all fall a little short.
