Sage review
Verdict
A great feed-reading enhancement for Firefox, but not without its weaknesses.

Overall Rating
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is how most people 'read the web', though, as it provides a quick and efficient way of feeding blog and news headlines to whichever device you want.
All you need is a feed aggregator in order to join in.
If you are a Firefox fanatic, Sage is a good choice.
This uses Firefox live bookmarks for its storage index and renders feeds via CSS which makes it highly customisable, if you don't mind rolling your sleeves up and doing it manually.
Not that you need to; the crisp newspaper-style display of feeds is the big strength of Sage.
It has a weakness, though, and that's a lack of update scheduling.
