How It Works:

When you visit LinkedIn, the extension automatically hides the feeds you've chosen to hide (main feed by default), replacing them with a clean message and two helpful buttons:

1. **⚙️ Open Settings** - Quickly customize which feeds to hide
2. **👁️ Show Feed (This Session)** - Need a quick peek? Click this to temporarily show the feed until you close the tab

You can still navigate to all parts of LinkedIn, view individual profiles, write posts, search for jobs, send messages, and use every LinkedIn feature—just without the distracting feed!
