Alex, would you release you bundle, say greader.webapp, for download? It’s convenient for other webrunner users.

If you use WebRunner, you should really check Bubbles — http://www.3d3r.com/bubbles/

I have built a Mac version of WebRunner which you can find at http://www.developerfriendly.com/WebRunnerX

@youen: follow these steps to setup a proxy in WebRunner:
1. Edit WebRunner prefs file. Typically, you’ll find it in:
C:\Program Files\WebRunner\defaults\preferences\webrunner-prefs.js

2. Add the following lines to this file:

pref(“network.proxy.http”, “YOUR_PROXY_SERVER”);
pref(“network.proxy.http_port”, YOUR_PROXY_SERVER_PORT);
pref(“network.proxy.type”, 1);

3. Edit the lines you added with your proxy server and port

Hope this helps

@Julien – maybe you can ask Mark Finkle from Mozilla whether he plans to release a Mac WebRunner….

Hi,

I am also a RSS addict and I will use this solution.

By the way do you know how to set up a proxy to webrunner ?

Well, I use NetVibes, got twelve tabs, and around 1125 news to read everyday… Big problem with Google is really to be logged in (I got five Google accounts…). & I don’t use desktop reader.
Another problem : WebRunner is PC-only. Maybe waiting for a Mac version ? & then I could try…

@Kfir – I think Netvibes RSS reader interface is good for casual reading, but for massive RSS consumption (~200 feeds) it’s not very convenient IMHO.

Do you have each feed as a separate module?

why not using Netvibes?
