I don't think there's a web interface, so you need to run a client such
as Thunderbird. Client settings are here:

Look in
news.announce.newgroups or news.groups

for messages with the subject "List of Big Eight Newsgroups"

and that should list all the major newsgroups.

Right, you need a separate newsreader. I remember having some trouble
getting Thunderbird to work, but it works for me now. Unfortunately,
I don't remember where I read the instructions that solved my issues,
but this post may help you:
