 I would add using Feeder for news, because it's private, doesn't have an algorithm and puts the user in control of what they see because it only displays RSS (etc.) feeds that you subscribe to in Feeder and it has filters so if you like "some news source" like Wired for example but aren't interested in "some topic" you can make filters in Feeder (easy peasy) to eliminate stuff from the articles list.  Feeder is totally local to your device and you can even tell it to open articles in your default browser so your ad blockers etc. work there as well. 

PS the dev is great!
