Never understood why nobody talks about NewsExplorer https://apps.apple.com/app/id1032668306 https://apps.apple.com/app/id1032668306, the only third party app on my phone that is available on ALL platforms it’s actually insane

All? Looks like only apple devices

  I meant all Apple devices even the Watch and TV

Possibly some perspective on why NNW gets so much love vs. News Explorer: https://www.brycewray.com/posts/2022/04/gems-in-rough-17/#feed-readers-and-built-in-browsers https://www.brycewray.com/posts/2022/04/gems-in-rough-17/#fe...

  But NE has safari view controller which supports ad blockers and also Mercury and other parsers. So beside FOSS what’s the downside ? It supports Tv and Watch

    If you must have compatibility with tvOS and Apple watchOS as well as macOS and iOS/iPadOS, NE certainly will do the job. (Can’t say that I’ve seen it work with ad blockers, but I’ll take your word for it.) As for other parsers, I’m guessing most NE users stick with its default settings, but have no data on which to base that guess.
