"Feeder" on Android. Built-in web is the Android web client. But I let it open the links with Firefox anyway. I just use the RSS Reader to get the list, actual reading I do in the Browser.
"Those tools and techniques should cease to be arcane nice-to-haves for nerds: we must get more non-technical people onboard" is key here, I would say.
If those tools cease to require arcance incantations and work seamlessly like every other thing everyone else is already using, then I don't think it's unrealistic at all.
That's exactly what I do, because I need the visual confirmation and can't really wrap my head around it otherwise.
Sometimes when I don't realize I'm in insert mode, I jump around the document and don't know what just happened. Visual cues in-between would have been nice, so I don't always feel as surprised as I do, lol.
Although I don't know if in that particular fiddly case it would have any benefit.
