I had been using a browser plugin but am transitioning to another approach so I can go away for a period of time and not lose any entries and so I can filter out certain types of entries automatically. Gregarius stores entries in a database and supports updating them periodically via a cron job, as described in http://wiki.gregarius.net/index.php/Updating_feeds_with_cron. It also has several plugins for added functionality, including several which I still need to sort through for filtering.
