What are Usenet Newsreaders?

In order to access the thousands of Newsgroups available on Usenet, a good Newsreader is necessary to navigate. A good Newsreader makes it easy to subscribe to and organize various newsgroups easily. A stand-alone newsreader allows the user to easily navigate through the messages of Newsgroups to easily track the trail of messages that are posted on any given subject.

Nowadays, Newsreaders go far and beyond the basics of reading through messages, allowing more complex functions such as doing real-time searches throughout the thousands of newsgroups by a particular keyword – as well as combining messages in order to obtain the files that are posted. Below is a list of Newsreaders that have been assembled by popularity and the platforms they support.
