An app that is open source and can extract the page content in a simplified “Reader Mode”.

Gnome Feeds works well for me.
Nextcloud’s news reader is pretty good – but you need to host a Nextcloud instance first :) (Hint: you should, to free yourself from google/icloud or whatever you use)

Desktop and mobile clients are available.
Feedbin. Not a Linux app, but a web app. And not FOSS or self hosted. Just a really great app run by great people for a great price. Parses full content and has a pretty nice API.
I tend to use either Newsboat or Elfeed. The first one is command line, the second is Emacs. So they’re both text-based. Might not be precisely what you’re looking for, but with the right choice of terminal font and easy-on-the-eyes colours, I find it a pleasant reading experience without distraction.
Miniflux has grown on me https://miniflux.app/
I run it in docker and access from browser. It says it can automatically download the whole article. For me I have to hit download button each time, maybe I missed some configuration.
If you self-host services, I recommend it
Miniflux submit selected articles to Wallabag for later reading. I also use the Newsboat CLI client which can sync with Miniflux installations as an alternative to the web interface it’s comfortable.
I recently moved from FreshRSS to Miniflux and the matrix integration is a godsend. Having miniflux automatically send everything to element instead of having a dedicated RSS client is great
If you’re not afraid of the terminal, the combination of newsboat and w3m is the quickest option.
FreshRss! It’s a selfhostable web app/server with a browser reader.
The full text extraction takes some technical fiddling and reading, but it works like a charm!
Read You app is pretty much what you described
I have that on my phone but I can’t find one for Linux :(
Oh I was not paying attention on what community I was on, sorry.
Can’t go wrong with Fluent Reader. It’s beautiful and featureful, has a reader mode as well.
I use newsflash for this, not the best app but still does all I want.
second this
I’m a fan of KDEs Akregator. It does a great job as a feed reader and shows the contwnt of an entry in a simplified reader mode. However some feeds jist dont display the full arricle in their feed entries so you’d have to follow a link there. But even thats sth that makes Akregator awesome: you can specify the command thats used to follow a link and most browsers have the option to open a page in reader mode via the commandline. So from what I gathered thia should pretty much do all you want it to and then some.
Emacs
