Tabbed browser

Open web pages in NetNewsWire's browser, and see them the same as in Safari, but with the convenience of staying in the same window. NetNewsWire remembers tabs between launches, so you come right back to where you left off last time.

Searching

Search your news items with a standard Apple search widget---as in Mail and other applications.

What's New:

Changes since 6.0:

  • Timeline: fix bug updating article display when an article with the same article ID appears more than once (which can happen when a person has multiple accounts)
  • iCloud: won't add feeds that aren't parseable, which fixes an error upon trying to rename one of these feeds
  • Feedbin: fixed a bug with read/unread status syncing

Alternatively you can download the latest beta version of this software.
