Feed Refiner for LinkedIn

About

Feed Refiner gives you back control of your LinkedIn home feed. Choose a reading layout that fits how you work, switch off the parts you don't want to see, and turn on optional insight tools that cut through the noise — all from a single popup, with changes applied instantly. Everything runs on your device.

WHAT YOU GET

Three one-click layout presets:
• Focus Reader — an immersive, distraction-free single column. Both side rails hidden so you focus on the posts and nothing else.
• Compact Grid — a wider, high-density reading column with the right rail hidden. Great for skimming quickly.
• Modern Classic — keeps the familiar layout, premium-clean and ready for your de-clutter toggles.

Standalone de-clutter toggles (mix and match with any preset):
• Hide promoted posts & ads
• Hide job recommendations
• Hide the post composer
• Hide vanity metrics (reveal counts on hover only)
• Hide the left sidebar
• Hide the right sidebar

Insight tools — all optional, all 100% on your device:
• AI content detector — flags likely AI-written posts with a subtle 🤖 badge.
• Spam detector — flags emoji/hashtag storms and engagement-bait with a 📢 badge.
• Comment silencer — gently dims low-signal "engagement-pod" comments (canned praise, emoji-only reactions) so real discussion stands out.
• ⚡ TL;DR summarizer (on by default) — one click condenses a long post into a 2-bullet summary using a local, offline text summarizer. Toggle it off in the popup, or flip back to the original instantly.
• Time Budget — set a daily post limit and get a gentle break screen when you reach it, with a live counter and reset.

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT

• Instant — changes apply the moment you flip a switch, no page reload.
• Remembers you — your preset, toggles and daily count are saved locally and restored every visit.
• Private by design — the insight tools analyze post and comment text only inside your browser. Nothing is stored, logged, or sent to any server. No accounts, no tracking, no external code.
• Lightweight — mostly CSS restyling with a small content script.

HOW TO USE

1. Pin the extension and open linkedin.com/feed.
