I use Newsblur[1] in the browser. The best part of Newsblur for me, is its intelligence trainer.

Suppose you want feeds from website A, but don't want certain stories tagged with "mice", or titles containing "epistemology", and you only want to see articles published by an author named "Joyce Smith", you can do that.

It's pretty great. Reading RSS feeds has become so much more pleasurable. The articles that do make it past the training filters are almost always what I do like to read.

This. I tried bazzillion different RSS readers / aggregators and Newsblur was the only one that resonated with me:

1. No-nonsense web UI. Simple, fast, logical, intuitive. 2. No ads 3. Decent free tier 4. Great intelligence trainer 5. Good search (finally!) 6. Pre-caching news content on your mobile device (great Android client by the way!) so when it comes to reading content, it comes up instantly.

€36/annum feels a bit steep (it used to be €12/annum when they started as far as I remember) but it works for me.

I would like to add that mobile application also works as expected with all feature set as web application.

I don’t use the training features much, but I love the consistent UI across the web and iOS interface. You can also host your own instance (I do not though) and use the iOS with it.
