Looking for cross device RSS reader (not self-hosted) (feddit.de)

I'm trying to finally get away from Feedly, so I'm looking into alternatives. Unfortunately self-hosted is not an option for me. It should sync read/unread status between android and browser. FOSS is a bonus but not a must.

I'd appreciate any recommendations!

Inoreader worked okay for me, syncs with the client apps I use, and was fairly Feedly-like. But I eventually went to a self-hosted FreshRSS install due to the ads that got inserted into feeds.

If you’re concerned about things like FOSS, you should consider finding a way to self-host, either on hardware you own or using a cloud VPS. Any service that can sync and keep client compatibility updated is going to incur costs, and they’ll extract that value from you somehow - ads, data slurping, whatever. Better to pay for it yourself so you at least have a clear idea what the relationship is.
