Publisher's description of Snarfer 0.9
From Snarfware:Snarfer is an easy, fast and free approach to enjoying RSS, ATOM, and XML feeds. Snarfer comes with hundreds of feeds to choose from, includes a tabbed browser and has wizards to help you construct complex searches for EBay and Craigslist that update as new results become available. Snarfer can synchronize with the free Bloglines service so you can access your feeds from another location (like the office or an Internet cafe) with a browser.
Version 0.9 added HTTPS support, database improvements, interface updates, improved Vista support, and minor bug fixes.
Editor's review of Snarfer 0.9
4.0 stars
- "Devouring feeds right and left"
This top-notch feed reader will devour your RSS and Atom feeds, though a few users might find it too basic. Snarfer keenly follows the "keep it simple" adage in every function. An uncomplicated, uncluttered interface follows a generic app design of left-side listed entries with a right-side preview pane. Copy a feed link in your browser and switch to Snarfer, and you'll find the program has already entered the link from the clipboard into your add-feed dialog.
To save an entry, simply drag it to a Save folder. E-mailing an entry and other basic functions are available in the context menu, while helpful wizards make it a snap to add and save Craigslist or eBay searches. Especially helpful is the prominent Quick Search box, though searches can't be limited to a single feed. Feed updates and update intervals are easily set, and users can elect to automatically save entries they have read or have them expire after a certain number saved. You can also import feeds from other readers using OPML.
This is a perfect first feed-reader for newbies, although experienced readers will miss customizations like changing fonts and preview pane location. Nevertheless, we recommend this freeware feed reader for its simplicity, small footprint, presentation, and efficiency.

Version: Snarfer 0.9
"The best reader that I have tried (so far)."
Pros: I have tried mostly all of the free readers, and this one suits me best. Easy to work, easy to subscribe to feeds. No complaints at all. Just one want. I have so many to read that I would like to flag the ones to come back to and there isn't that capability. Such a minor want, that it's OK. I'll live without it.
Cons: No pros.
