When I went to Thunderbird a few years back I was told I also had to
have a dedicated newsreader. Is this no longer the case?

What do you mean by a "dedicated newsreader"? I've
been using Thunderbird for years for both email and newsgroups
and it hasn't given me any fits. It doesn't have quite every
feature any power user might dream of, but it gets the job done
with a minimum of fuss.
Best wishes,
Ericka

Netscape -- you'll have to go into the archives of old products because
the newer one doesn't do newsgroups. Download version 7.2

I'm using Seamonkey (a Mozilla newsreader) and finding it works very
well. Similar to Netscape and Firefox . When my Netscape stopped
working for some reason, I started using Seamonkey. It imported all my
bookmarks and newsgroups without my having to resubscribe or rebuilt my
bookmarks.

I've been using Mozilla Firefox as my web browser for years and just
read the newsgroups through the google newsreader.
They have far fewer "burps" than they used to. It's nearly flawless
now.
