It&#8217;s nice software but is no longer under development.  So I&#8217;ve taken another look around for alternative desktop RSS readers that <em>are<\/em> under active development, seeking something a touch faster but with the same or better features.<\/p>\n<p>One &#8216;actively developed&#8217; option is the new-ish <a href=\"https:\/\/quiterss.org\/\">QuiteRSS<\/a>. A basic feature set, so far, but perfectly functional.  AdBlock runs by default in the internal browser, and Flash is blocked with a click-to-play button. After install, for additional security you may want to uncheck: Tools | Options | &#8216;Help improve QuiteRSS by sending usage information&#8217; and disable &#8216;Javascript&#8217; and &#8216;External plugins&#8217; in the internal browser.  You can also block internal browser pages from setting cookies.  <\/p>\n<p>QuiteRSS offers search within your feeds, though only at the level of a per-folder search&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/2015\/08\/quietrsssearch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/jurnsearch\/2015\/08\/quietrsssearch.jpg\" alt=\"quietrsssearch\" width=\"214\" height=\"219\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12731\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also font size and font choice, across all display panes. So there is now one acceptable actively developed desktop Windows alternative to FeedDemon Pro.
