Oct 30, 2013 8:06 AM in response to ZORGALISCIOUSby piero,As written before I've been trying some free readers on App Store but didn't work the way I thought.
Then I clicked See All and checked the other readers, not the notifies, and I think I found something free and nice to work with: https://itunes.apple.com/it/app/feedwizard/id467336158?l=en&mt=12
Just click on and "old" feed on Safari bookmarks and it'll ask you to confirm the link. Once in the Bookmark window it shows you the usual feed text that you can sort and a Preview window capable of displaying the web page and even follow the links. The missing back forw buttons are on the secondary of the mouse/touch.
The only nice free alternative I found by now. Not checked Vienna, does it requires X11?
P.S.
Nice thoughts s4lex! Unfortunately they are true, especially with the last manager they hired.

Vienna, open source, not controlled by big brother, x11 not used, looks like mac app with toolbar, integrated browser. Not as nice as a real browser, but useful for most sites and your not switching apps to continue browsing or backing up.

Nov 11, 2013 7:55 PM in response to Basiliskby ubernaut,so for those of you stil following this thread and still using safari 5. i would urge you to try using Net News Wire after less then a day i have gotten to a point where i am far more efficient with my time then i ever was under safari 5 and with almost the exact same resultant workflow.
NNW lets you default to opening articles in the background (which essentially recreates what i was doing in Safari) and loads feeds better (more content formats supported in direct feed viewing) and faster then Safari ever did.
I know that having all this functionality in one program would be superioir given the correct implmentation but NNW sorta blows safari 5 out of the water in terms of how fast i can parse through the info in the feeds.

Jan 11, 2014 12:23 PM in response to ubernautby AppleSean,I did try Net News Wire but it still hasn't caught on with me. I really need a reader within Safari, and so does the public.
I would encourage everyone following this feed to keep requesting Apple get its act together. You can make such requests at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
Thanks!

Jan 17, 2014 12:45 PM in response to ZORGALISCIOUSby dozy,There is this extension:
https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/44284/rss-menu-extension-for-safari
It lets you view the feed in Safari, or in an external application.

Jan 19, 2014 1:32 PM in response to dozyby AppleSean,No, it doesn't let you view the feed in Safari 7.0.1. I get an error:
Safari can't open "feed" because Safari can't display RSS feeds.

Jan 19, 2014 1:46 PM in response to AppleSeanby dozy,It works in my Safari 7.0.1 (9537.73.11) just fine, reading the feed in Safari.

Jan 19, 2014 3:25 PM in response to dozyby AppleSean,Well, I am now on Safari 7.0.1 which is what is included in 10.9.1. Which OS version are you using?

Jan 19, 2014 3:37 PM in response to ZORGALISCIOUSby Gunnar Rögnvaldsson,Ahh, I see
Safari the Web Browser has finally made the long hard stone stepping progress towards the Finder for the internet on the Internet.
Now we get the "optional bonus pleasure" form the decission making process on how to open every single URL that Links to Anything on the intenet on the Internet.
THIS is progress! How could I not understand this singularity-purpose of the Web Browser from the begining. This is what makes things really simple; it's the sheere tonnage of single purpose Applications that matter. The sheere brutal force of gravity is what makes really brakethrough-technology.
Kind regards
