A browser plugin is a pretty heavy weapon. It gives a lot of power over your browsing to whoever controls it. So I would not use one just to read rss feeds.

Greasemonkey is really great to customize websites for your [weird] usage pattern. (Tampermonkey[0] works in Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera Next, and Firefox)
XHR is a pretty decent api that ignores CORS[1]
GM.xmlHttpRequest({
method: "GET",
url: "http://www.example.com/",
onload: function(response){alert(response.responseText)}
});
