Edit : Thanks everyone! Am going to try Inoreader and if I want to tackle self-hosting will defiantly look into FreshRSS.

Linux users - I've been using Feedly since Google tried to kill RSS and it's now pretty much infested with AI and pushing AI features.
So I'm looking for free rss reader reccs, preferably via Browser
I don't want any AI or LLM features.
@Faintdreams If you are down to self host then I recommend FreshRSS. I've been using it for over a year and have had zero issues with it.
@Faintdreams it's been a while since I've used Tiny https://tt-rss.org/ but worked well in the past,. might have to jump back since I'm annoyed with Feedly for the same reasons as you. (Though the biggest annoyance with RSS for is that many RSS feeds only include headline and a link to the article)
@Faintdreams I use Newsblur(.com). It's open source but I pay for the hosted thing. FreshRSS (https://www.freshrss.org/) is also very good and very easy to self-host
@Faintdreams If it's possible to self-host, I've been using Fresh RSS for years and I like it a lot. Super simple, easy to use, but also powerful.
@Faintdreams Check out FreshRSS (self-hosted and very lightweight) https://freshrss.org/index.html
@Faintdreams Favouriting this to see what responses you get as I’m in the same position. I’ve been putting more things on my blog list which shows recently updated rss feeds. I think I might need to drop the high volume news feeds in my Feedly and just follow real people’s blogs instead.
@satsuma I'm going to try InoReader (browser) but lot of people recommended FreshRSS (self Hosted).
I do use Vivalidi Browser but for various reasons didn't want a Browser integrated reader - reasons to do with m, not vivaldi :)
@Faintdreams ta! Will check those out!
