A Chrome extension has been created to block the LinkedIn home feed without interfering with the rest of the platform's functionality. The creator of the extension found the social feed overwhelming and decided to take action. To use the extension, one must first download or clone the repository to a permanent location on their computer.
Once done, they need to enable Developer mode in Chrome's top-right corner. The extension will stay enabled unless disabled or removed from chrome://extensions. After making changes to the manifest.json, rules.json, or feed.css files, the extension will effectively hide LinkedIn's main feed, including the post composer. It specifically targets LinkedIn's mainFeed pager to block requests for additional main-feed posts.
The extension aims to keep the rest of LinkedIn accessible, allowing users to find jobs and communicate with recruiters without being bombarded by the wild-west social feed.
