We discussed exactly this maybe six months ago. I use Thunderbird,
which doesn't require new software to be installed, and Usenet messages
are kept segregated from email. Plus it has nice filtering capability
to take out flame-baiters or topics of no interest. It doesn't obscure
email address of posters, so no problem at all doing personal replies.

When I was a Windows user, the best newsreader I found was Forte Agent -
its not free but does have a free trial period. The only reason I'm not
using it now is that I no longer use Windows: if Forte released a Linux
version I'd be using it.

I'm currently using Pan, which is free but no longer, apparently,
maintained, which is annoying, and have also used Thunderbird.

I just trashed Windows forever about two weeks ago. Using and loving
Ubuntu now. But I was able to keep Thunderbird when I switched (do some
research on how before doing this). I kept Chrome for about 3 days
before switching to Brave as a browser (thanks 5Z!)

Good move!

I used Firefox for years, but switched to Brave about a year ago.
