A minimal Chrome extension that disables LinkedIn's home feed while keeping the rest of LinkedIn usable. What it does Hides the entire main feed on /feed Blocks infinite-scroll feed pagination Leaves profiles, jobs, search, messaging, notifications, and other LinkedIn features alone Why?

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 Before After Install Download or clone this repository somewhere permanent on your computer. Open Chrome and go to: chrome://extensions Enable Developer mode in the top-right corner. Click Load unpacked. Select the linkedin-feed-blocker directory. Reload LinkedIn. The extension will remain enabled unless you disable or remove it from chrome://extensions. Developer Notes Updating After changing manifest.json, rules.json, or feed.css: Open chrome://extensions Find LinkedIn Feed Blocker Click Reload Reload LinkedIn How it works feed.css Hides LinkedIn's main feed, including the post composer: [data-testid="mainFeed"] { display: none !important; } rules.json 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.
