Hacker News Reader

What? I use feedly daily but don't have a feedly extension. You can just go to feedly.com

They used to require an extension but they don't any longer. Also, their mobile apps are amazing. I don't believe Google Reader had anything like that.

I used the google reader android app before it was shuttered.

Good to know. Sorry. I should have checked to see if they got rid of that requirement

Correct! I use The Old Reader, free, because it's awesome. I remember now why I did this choice, and indeed invasive browser extensions which ask for * access to all my sites are a big no-no. Whenever I want to use a web-screenshot tool, I do it in a separate profile.

This is no longer true, Feedly is completely accessible by browser, no extension needed.

The extension was required to cache articles back in time when local storage sucked and feedly's infrastructure was not big enough to handle influx of all of the people who had to leave Google Reader.

Citation needed.
