Seriously, going to the feedly website, the first thing you're confronted with is a list of platform-specific apps you have to download, and "this website wants to install something, ok?"
There seems little reason for this with today's browsers, and it seems like a very good way to make a large proportion of potential users say "no thanks" before even trying it. I know it made me immediately toss feedly into the discard pile in my reader-replacement search...
