I’m currently running FreshRSS with good results. I ran TinyTinyRSS previously but the dev was so toxic I bailed on principle. :-(

I’m replying here in good faith that this isn’t a bottomless Yes, but scenario.

Now tell me that I am asking too much and there’s no hope for me.

There’s plenty of hope if one is willing to fork and modify a FOSS server or client. Make it look and act exactly like you want.

browser extensions are a privacy concern and stopped using them

I think this concern is overstated in an RSS context for anonymous (no sign-in) feeds.
