Brief Adds Lightweight Browsing to Live Bookmarks

Windows/Mac/Linux (Firefox): Brief, an in-browser RSS reader for Firefox, adds a clean Google Reader-type feed reading interface to your browser, and makes Firefox’s default “Live Bookmarks” system far more useful. The stand-out feature for GReader users is the starring system that lets you tag posts for later viewing, but I also like the “X” boxes put on each post—instead of marking a post “read” and scrolling past it, you can actually remove it from your view. It’s a lot like Sage, but with a more robust set of features and customisation. Brief is a free download and works wherever Firefox 2 and 3 beta do.
