An app that is open source and can extract the page content in a simplified “Reader Mode”.
This might not fit your workflow, but Thunderbird can be used as an RSS reader. Go to File > New and add a new Feed Account
I was hoping for this to work but it doesn’t parse the full content. Weirdly also it didn’t import correctly the opml file, the folders where there but they didn’t have the rss link.
I just imported an .opml with folders into Tbird 102.13.1 and the items in the folders were there. I don’t know about the parse full content part.
Can’t go wrong with Fluent Reader. It’s beautiful and featureful, has a reader mode as well.
Miniflux has grown on me https://miniflux.app/
I run it in docker and access from browser. It says it can automatically download the whole article. For me I have to hit download button each time, maybe I missed some configuration.
If you self-host services, I recommend it
I recently moved from FreshRSS to Miniflux and the matrix integration is a godsend. Having miniflux automatically send everything to element instead of having a dedicated RSS client is great
Miniflux submit selected articles to Wallabag for later reading. I also use the Newsboat CLI client which can sync with Miniflux installations as an alternative to the web interface it’s comfortable.
FreshRss! It’s a selfhostable web app/server with a browser reader.
The full text extraction takes some technical fiddling and reading, but it works like a charm!
Nextcloud’s news reader is pretty good – but you need to host a Nextcloud instance first :) (Hint: you should, to free yourself from google/icloud or whatever you use)

Desktop and mobile clients are available.
Emacs
Wallabag might work.
I tend to use either Newsboat or Elfeed. The first one is command line, the second is Emacs. So they’re both text-based. Might not be precisely what you’re looking for, but with the right choice of terminal font and easy-on-the-eyes colours, I find it a pleasant reading experience without distraction.
I use newsflash for this, not the best app but still does all I want.
second this
Liferea does the job and worries pretty well.
Read You app is pretty much what you described
I have that on my phone but I can’t find one for Linux :(
Oh I was not paying attention on what community I was on, sorry.
Nunti
i use freshrss, and rssbridge to aggregate my feed device independenty (so i can have the same feed on my phone)
Akgregator is great but I’m not sure about Reader Mode
ttrss might be an option if you’re into self hosting
