What BazQux Reader is
BazQux Reader gathers website feeds and social pages in one reader, with reading without ads and tracking. Users can also follow Facebook, Telegram, and VK pages, view full content from truncated articles and social links, and read and follow article comments. Search covers feeds and tagged articles, while filters, smart streams, and several layouts help organize reading. Articles can be starred or tagged, shared by email, Twitter, or Facebook, or saved to Pocket, Instapaper, and Pinboard. Offline reading is supported, as are Google Reader and Fever APIs and third-party clients for listed platforms. The service supports up to 3,000 feeds and 500 filters or smart streams combined. Unread articles are retained indefinitely, subject to a 500-article total per feed; refresh intervals vary, while WebSub feeds update in real time.
