    LinkedIn started feeling unusable to me — promoted posts, “Liked by”, suggested content, things I never asked to see.

    I built a small Chrome extension to filter those out and keep only the topics you care about. It runs locally, doesn’t require an account, and has a free tier that already removes ads.

    Not trying to turn this into a big startup — mostly scratching my own itch and sharing it in case it’s useful to others who spend too much time on LinkedIn.

    Happy to hear feedback or criticism.

      Maybe this makes sense for recruiters or influencers? I use and browse LinkedIn sparingly, definitely not enough to where paying $48/year makes sense for me.

      I want to also make a general comment thats not targeted at you specifically but I'll start by saying "Thank you!" for making the core functionality (removing the Promoted posts) available on your Free tier but man am I tired of everything becoming a subscription. I'm not advocating or implying that people should work for free, but it just feels like every aspect of our life is becoming a subscription in some shape or fashion.

        People who spend much time on Linkedin (HR, sales...) who don't want to pay for Linkedin Premium, this could be a cheaper alternative.

        I understand, and I get you. But I need some sort of validation to know if is worth it to make the product even better. Since I am not ICP, free tier is enough for me.

        Thanks for honest feedback, probably I will adjust the price :)

    I built something similar a few years back, open sourced it in the end https://github.com/mihailthebuilder/simplyfeed

    There's so much content you'll end up filtering out, that the feed will struggle show any content. How are you handling that?

      Hello @mmarian,

      Your version looks great too. That's true, I've working on that part lately, for now it handles feed as you scroll.
