Testing chrome as you did would due to the adaptive technology required
stimulate the dizzy centres of my brain...literary.

too Java dependent for my use.

Hi Evan,
granted I prefer my phones to be as dumb as possible, I do not own a smart
phone for many reasons.
I do however as a reporter prefer to draw from as many diverse news
sources as I can, articles not podcasts.
My efforts to visit feedly,
www.feedly.com/
produce a failure to load error, regardless of browser I try.
Am I unlikely to experience anything productive here if only using a
desktop?
Must you use their software to reach the news content?
Sitting in the back of tech class, smiles.
