Feedreader isn't too bad at all.

http://www.feedreader.com/

Ampetadesk is good as well but a bit heavy on the resources.

You could try NewsMonster
http://newsmonster.org/

The free version have a few sponsored newsfeeds but thats about it for
ads - It doesn't put them in your face like so many other ad-supported
programs.

Normal versions require that you have a stable (read:release) version of
Mozilla 1.x or Netscape 7.x but you can also install a standalone
developer version.

I tried it on Mozilla Firebird .. worked .. but I couldn't remove it
again and it messed a few things up. The normal Mozilla suite should
work fine though.

I used to use Amphetadesk, but I now much prefer www.sharpreader.com. The
only problem with it is that it is heavy on system resources and requires
the .NET framework. If these bother you, try www.feedreader.com.
