How it works

  1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store (or sideload from GitHub).
  2. Pin the extension icon in Chrome’s toolbar and open its popup.
  3. Choose your CleanUp level – Normal, Extreme or Custom
  4. Reload LinkedIn – changing feed settings only updates on a refresh
  5. You can also tweak your layout: columns, widths, hide/show rails.
  6. The layout changes will load instantly in the page.

🎯 The result: a seamless clickable area that behaves like a standard anchor tag — even with nested content.

FAQs / Troubleshooting

Nothing changes after installation

Check that you’re logged in on LinkedIn, then press Ctrl+R (hard-refresh). Also verify the extension icon isn’t paused.

I hid both side-bars and now the feed is off-centre

Hit “Reset width” in the popup or disable any custom CSS you added manually.

How do I restore default LinkedIn?

You’ve got 3 options:

  • Click on the extension icon, and uncheck the “Enable extension” – and refresh LinkedIn, the extension no longer touches it.
  • Right click the extension ➡️ Manage Extensions ➡️ and disable the extension in the settings. This is Chrome’s built in enable switch.
  • Or just remove the extension; Chrome wipes its settings instantly.
What if I select the wrong link type?

We allow saving even if a field is incomplete or a setting is mismatched – you’ll just see a friendly warning.

Can I hide ads but keep side-bars?

Yes - untick “Hide rails” and leave the “Filter Promoted” option on.

Does it work with other LinkedIn themes or A/B tests?

We target core classes; if LinkedIn changes markup we’ll patch quickly.

What if LinkedIn ships a new ad type?

Open an issue on GitHub and include a screenshot/HTML snippet; we’ll update the filter.

Is Firefox supported?

A Web-Extension build is on the roadmap but it’s not priority – star the repo for updates.
