Is there a #privacy preserving alternative to MSN/Yahoo news that let's you read news scraped from several sources on 1 platform, without having to enter the #news websites with all the tracking?
Other devices, @Vivaldi browser has it built in (and is a generally good and privacy-protecting browser), and Thunderbird and I hear Outlook email readers do too.
Often, you can add just the news site's homepage to your reader and it will find the feed(s) automatically.
FeedFlow, Feeder, Read You. These three are the ones I have seen on F-Droid official repo. If you search on the internet, you can find many other platforms
I accomplish this with an #RSS reader. Most news sites and blogs support RSS feeds, and many of those feeds give you full-text articles. Some only show the title & summary of the article in the feed, so you have to click through to read the full article, but you can skip subscribing to those if you want.
I use Reeder Classic because it syncs my feeds through my iCloud account and runs on iOS, iPadOS, and Mac. But I am considering looking for a new one. I see posts all the time on here under the #RSS tag so there are plenty of folks who can offer more recommendations!
The person behind Reeder classic is even on the Fediverse, so it must be good ;) @rizzi
For your new one you can check out the many great recommendations the other people from our community here gave me in the comments! there are even self-hosted ones : mastodon.social/@madeindex/115…

I use a proprietary RSS app, Feedly, which is available for all mobile and desktop environments. The easy synchronisation is important to me. But there are excellent open-source alternatives for every platform.

Self-hosted - FreshRSS, maybe Tiny Tiny RSS (I prefer FreshRSS)

And for services which don't provide RSS you can use rss generators, like rss.app
