About the project

The LinkedIn feed is full of ads, both the labeled ones and the ones just posing as content. I wrote a Chrome extension that throws them out and leaves me only what I come there for.

It started mainly as an experiment in building a browser extension, but it stuck around because I actually use it. Fewer ads, less FOMO, cleaner browsing.

Why I built it

  • I wanted to get hands-on with building an extension.
  • It stuck around, I actually use the clean feed.
  • Fewer ads, less FOMO.

How it works (under the hood)

  • A Chrome extension over the LinkedIn feed.
  • Filters ads, both labeled and unlabeled.
  • Plain JavaScript via the Chrome Extension API.
