“Akregator: This is the KDE-based feed reader with support for
RSS feeds. Akregator comes with lots of features and it has a
simple interface, with a tree-like view to the left side for the
feeds list and a large area for reading news. It supports tabs,
sharing to websites like Twitter or Identi.ca, while links and
pages can be opened in an external web browser. It uses the WebKit
engine for displaying web pages. It allows the configuration of its
appearance, like font and colors, sharing services, article
archiving and it support system tray integration.

“Liferea: Also called the Linux Feed Reader, Liferea is a
full-featured news reader built in GTK, so I?d warmly recommend it
for GNOME users. By default, Liferea?s interface is pretty much the
same as Akregator, following the same style with a tree view to the
left, and the news list and displaying widget to the right side.
However it has three different view modes which change the
alignment of the widgets (normal, wide and combined view modes). It
supports system tray integration and has an option to disable
JavaScript as well as modifying the font size.”
