If you use an RSS aggregator like Feedly, Newsblur, The Old Reader, or Inoreader, it's safe to assume and expect they will track you. It's shitty and there is (was?) no real alternative.

The alternative is a paid reader with no ads.
That also works.
I know, which is I don't use any of those.

The alternative is to not use shitty web apps.

What then? Do I have to maintain my own RSS aggregator server so I can read my feeds on multiple devices? Or do I have to restrict myself to a single device?
Feedbin is open source. Wouldn’t be difficult to get that running for a cheap box on DO or whatever.
