    light enough and powerful, but the feature that I am interested in is not yet available, namely TTS.. if you're working with a computer it would be very inconvenient to always read, but at the same time our ears are not used..

    Edit = Based on the comment below, this is no longer an issue.

    RSS Guard is currently looking for a new developer as the founder has lost interest. Proceed with caution.

    Not true, anymore. I am still leading RSS Guard to glory and I will for years coming.
