Interesting the fact that is definitely going again the trend of extracting content from websites to present it in a more readable format (instapaper, safari reader). I like the general interface, but I'm not a big fan of having to ready my rss crowded with ads and banners.
I am on a bit of an anti-Apple binge over the last week on HN, but I will point out that Safari Reader, like most Apple "innovations", occurred somewhere else first, in the Readability extension for Firefox and Chrome released almost a year before SR that thousands of people were using, which was being recommended non-stop on Reddit and HN. Can we please not let another mythology grow up around Safari Reader as with all the other technology which Apple appropriates.[1]
Nice thing is that you have the option to only read the Feed instead of the Original Site. By clicking on 'Feed', you get the same treatment as Google Reader. And NewsBlur persists your preference.
