LinkedIn Feed Blocker

A minimal Chrome extension that disables LinkedIn's home feed while keeping the rest of LinkedIn usable.

Chrome Web Store: Currently pending review. The listing will be available shortly here. In the meantime, follow the manual installation instructions below.

  • 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
Before: LinkedIn home page showing the full social feed, including a large post about a recruiter that 'came' on someone's profile. Yes, as-in _that_ 'came'. After: LinkedIn home page with no posting feed.

  1. Download or clone this repository somewhere permanent on your computer.

  2. Open Chrome and go to:

  3. Enable Developer mode in the top-right corner.

  4. Click Load unpacked.

  5. Select the linkedin-feed-blocker directory.

  6. 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:

  1. Open chrome://extensions
  2. Find LinkedIn Feed Blocker
  3. Click Reload
  4. 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.
