Lets the Atomic RSS Reader widget on your CORSAIR XENEON EDGE read news feeds from sites that don't let widgets read them, such as The Verge, Ars Technica and the BBC.

Put "AtomicFeedHelper.exe" somewhere it can stay (for example \Documents).
Double-click it once. That's it: it starts with Windows from now on and sits in the tray.
Feeds that are open to everyone keep loading on their own. The helper only steps in for the sites that block widgets, and their tabs on the widget stop being crossed out within a minute.
It only reads public internet addresses (never your PC or home network) and only passes on RSS and Atom feeds, so nothing else can use it.
It only answers on this PC (localhost:8091) and only contacts the news sites you added to the widget. It keeps nothing.
Windows may show "Windows protected your PC" the first time. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
To stop it, right-click the tray icon and choose Exit. Uncheck "Start with Windows" to stop it starting.
