how private are RSS feeds?

How could anyone find out which sites are you following using an RSS feed? And I mean in a broad way: can the site track you? Can ISP? Network managers?

Let's say you want to follow a bunch of political sites that you don't want to be easily attached to, is RSS a good way to do it? Are there extra precautions to take?

My first thought would be that it's the same as using any other browser, so not a great way to be private. Am I wrong?

FDroid vs FDroid Basic

I've using FDroid for some time now, but now it says "it was developed for an older Android version (I'm on 14) and can't update automatically" I read that FDroid Basic was recommended for newer phones, so I installed and copied my repos (still have both apps) but it doesn't recognize my installed apps. Am I missing something?

browser for webapps?

I'm looking for an android browser to open webapps isolated from my general browsing

I've been using Mull as disposable browsing and brave for login into places (shopping, social), but I don't like that if I want to stay logged it also keeps history record. I think it would happen with any browser I use, right? Any suggestions?

Duck Tracker Block vs VPN

Hi! I started learning about privacy a few months ago and there is a few (many) things I'm struggling to understand and I would thank you if you could share some documentation/sites to learn more

One of the issues is about DuckDuck Tracker Blocker on android phone (low/moderate threat level), which takes the VPN spot. Is it really useful? I've uninstalled several apps and replaced with FOSS when possible, so it's not blocking a lot of stuff lately (or so it says) I've also been trying Proton Free+nextDNS (also not sure how to choose lists) but IDK how to decide which one is better, but I'm wondering: does DNS make the blocker app redundant? Isn't it kinda the same job (different lists, maybe)?

Thanks in advance!

Social Media on RSS?

Hi I'm not a fan of social media and I left TW recently because I realized I spent too much time in there doomscroling and getting angry. That's how I found Lemmy

but there are still a few IG and TW accounts that I would like to keep tabs on (local news, content creators, stuff like that) Is there a way to maybe put all that in a single app in a controlled feed? I though maybe RSS (Been using Feeder recently, still building my sources but I like it) could be an answer but I haven't found a tool that's free and still working (I know it's the opposite of their business model)

My hopes are not high, but thanks im advance for any answer
