GitHub - andrewpollack/LinkedIn Feed Blocker Chrome Extension

Hacker News •
×

A minimal Chrome extension that disables LinkedIn's home feed while preserving other LinkedIn functionality. The extension hides the main feed on /feed, blocks infinite-scroll pagination, and leaves profiles, jobs, search, messaging, and notifications intact.

The developer created this tool due to disinterest in LinkedIn's social feed while still wanting to use the platform for job hunting and recruiter communication. Installation requires downloading or cloning the repository, enabling Developer mode in Chrome, and loading the unpacked extension.

The extension works through feed.css which hides the main feed container using CSS display: none, and rules.json which blocks requests for additional main-feed posts by targeting LinkedIn's specific feed pager endpoint to avoid interfering with other LinkedIn features.

After making changes to manifest.json, rules.json, or feed.css, users must reload the extension through chrome://extensions and refresh LinkedIn to apply updates.
