A minimal Chrome extension that disables LinkedIn's home feed while keeping the rest of LinkedIn usable.
- Hides the entire main feed on
/feed - Blocks infinite-scroll feed pagination
- Leaves profiles, jobs, search, messaging, notifications, and other LinkedIn features alone
I like LinkedIn for finding jobs and chatting with recruiters. I do not like being greeted by the wild-west social feed.
After having "experienced" the Before image below, I decided to do something about it. Hence, this extension.
| Before | After |
|---|---|
- Download or clone this repository somewhere permanent on your computer.
- Open Chrome and go to:
chrome://extensions - Enable Developer modein the top-right corner.
- Click Load unpacked.
- Select the
linkedin-feed-blockerdirectory. - Reload LinkedIn.
The extension will remain enabled unless you disable or remove it from chrome://extensions.
After changing manifest.json, rules.json, or feed.css:
- Open
chrome://extensions - Find LinkedIn Feed Blocker
- Click Reload
- Reload LinkedIn
Hides LinkedIn's main feed, including the post composer:
[data-testid="mainFeed"] {
display: none !important;
}
Blocks requests for additional main-feed posts by targeting:
sduiid=com.linkedin.sdui.pagers.feed.mainFeed
The rule intentionally targets LinkedIn's mainFeed pager instead of the generic pagination endpoint, which could interfere with other parts of LinkedIn.
