Ben Goodger, the lead engineer for Mozilla Firefox, reports: We have just enabled an experimental Feed Handling feature, which will be available in nightly builds starting Friday May 5 2006. When you click on links to RSS or Atom feeds, you will be shown a preview page that lets you subscribe to the feed using your favorite reader. The idea for Firefox 2 is to also make web readers available as options.

Shrook 2.5 has been released and is now freeware, actually subscribtion based.

This isn’t a temporary promotion and this isn’t a sign of abandoning Shrook. I just want as many people as possible to be using it, because it is better than NetNewsWire and NewsFire and everything else out there. Shrook fans can now recommend it to their friends without requiring them to spend money.
