LinkedIn Feed Blocker: A Minimal Chrome Extension to Hide the Home Feed
A minimal Chrome extension that removes LinkedIn's home feed while keeping the rest of the site usable. It hides the main feed on /feed and blocks infinite-scroll pagination, leaving profiles, jobs, search, messaging, and notifications untouched. The extension uses a CSS rule to hide the feed and a declarative net request rule to block the mainFeed pager, avoiding interference with other LinkedIn features. Install it by loading the unpacked directory in chrome://extensions.
I like LinkedIn for finding jobs and chatting with recruiters. I do not like being greeted by the wild-west social feed.

If you browse the mobile website instead of the app, after 6 or 7 posts it says "LinkedIn is better with the app" and then hits back on your browser either taking you back to the top or to another website. This is a very effective way to get me to close linkedin

I'd love to be able to filter the feed so it only shows me actual posts by my connections. I do not care about comments my connections made on strangers' posts, and I surely do not care about posts by strangers that my connections 'liked'.
Anyone know if such a tool exists?

linkedin cares a lot about preventing people from changing how people view their website, and they have very effective DOM detection code which watches for manipulation like this. So if you use this extension it's very likely that your account will be shadowbanned, meaning you won't show up in searches (e.g. if you are a job seeker you'll stop getting cold outreach from recruiters), your posts will be less visible or invisible if you have any, and whatever other arbitrary restrictions linkedin's algorithm puts on your account which might even include stifling normal communication from your connections. And if you don't care about any of those things you might be better off without linkedin in the first place.

Just add this to uBlock origin:
```
linkedin.com##main#workspace section:has(div[componentkey*="container-update-list_mainFeed-lazy"])
```

Something I discovered recently: if you stop following everyone you’re connected to, Linkedin’s feed breaks so you get this by default. I can still interact with everyone normally, send messages, etc, but I do not see any Linkedin content, ads, etc. Do not miss it.

My feed is filled with startup/VC/recruiter people liking vibe-orientated junk economics or junk science more than AI. Would love to see a browser like Orion or UBlock Origin just build this in as a feature.

I didn’t realize the LinkedIn feed was a problem for people. Literally the only thing that makes me use that site is when the safety/shelter tier of Maslow’s pyramid is at risk.

But then how will I possibly know that someone in my network achieved a new highscore in puzzle solving??
