Re: [orca-list] RSS on an accessible app?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I was a big fan of google reader, and nothing in g+ is convenient like that, not that g-reader was great at 
the end accessibility wise, but still was 
quite usable, and with a much better orca like we have now probably would have been fine. 
Anyway, you can also use thunderbird forrss, and it's not bad although I've gone back to firefox-live 
bookmarks. If you have your downloads set to 
always ask where to save them and make a few sub-folders you can be organized fairly quickly.
There are extensions for both firefox and thunderbird, but the ones I tried for t-bird were all either 
already not supporting latest t-bird, or quickly 
broke, or were not accessible enough to be worth my while. 
As for firefox, it's been longer since I tried any of the news-reading extensions there. One that has been 
reserected a time or two, is called sage, but 
I do not know if it's working these days. There was another one that I liked but I do not remember the name 
and this was back from firefox 3.0 or 3.5  
days.
It'd be worth a look on the add-ons pages though.
