Description

SharpReader version 0.9.7 is an efficient RSS/Atom Aggregator developed by Luke Hutteman. This Internet & Network program falls under the RSS Tools subcategory and is designed to provide users with advanced threading support, allowing connected items to be viewed together in a threaded fashion. The program can be downloaded for free, with the current file name being SharpReader.exe or VRT13.exe, and it is remarkably compact at just 800 KB.

SharpReader runs smoothly on various Windows operating systems, including Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11. Previous versions, such as 0.9, are also available if needed. The program offers undeniable convenience for users seeking to group subscribed feeds into custom categories, set individual refresh rates and purge timeouts, and import or export subscriptions using OPML.

One of SharpReader's key features is its internal browser, which runs in a restricted security zone, entrusting Internet Explorer with the task of blocking restricted content. This not only enhances security but also allows embedded CSS styles in item descriptions, addressing the concern of javascript exploits effectively.

SharpReader supports both "" and "", catering to the proper capitalization of these elements. The program has improved its line break handling for some feeds and supports better handling of relative URLs in Atom feeds. Additionally, the display of enclosure links is organized at the bottom of item descriptions, facilitating a better user experience.

The installer for SharpReader has also been updated to ensure it no longer complains if only .NET 2.0 is installed, adding to its overall usability.

Pros:

  • Free to use, making it easily accessible.
  • Compact file size (800 KB).
  • Advanced threading support for better feed organization.
  • Allows customization of feed settings.
  • Enhanced security features through a restricted internal browser.

Cons:

  • Requires download on Windows OS only.
  • Some users might find the UI less modern compared to other RSS tools.

For anyone searching for a reliable, free RSS aggregator with robust features and good security, SharpReader download is a commendable choice.

You may want to check out more software, such as RssBandit, Forté Agent or SuperNZB, which might be similar to SharpReader.
