Since the passing of Google Reader (sob) I don’t use a web-based RSS feed reader anymore
For general reading I have to admit I now rely on my Twitter stream to surface stuff that I’m going to be interested in
Where I want to specifically monitor an RSS feed I sometimes use “If This, Then That” to take the RSS and do something with it (e.g. email me with a daily summary) - I wrote a post about doing this in relation to e-resources recently as part of a Jisc service I work with (KB+) http://www.meanboyfriend.com/overdue_ideas/2016/11/keeping-up-to-date-with-ejournal-collections-using-kb-and-ifttt/
Best wishes
