Social Silencer features

Social Silencer hides the distracting parts of LinkedIn and X and is designed to leave the rest of the platform usable.

What does Social Silencer hide, and what stays usable?

Social Silencer hides the LinkedIn home feed, the For You and Following timelines on X and, optionally, trends and account suggestions. Everything else on both platforms is left in place, including messages, notifications, search, jobs and profiles. Additional elements can be hidden with custom CSS selectors stored locally in Chrome.

Social Silencer can hide the LinkedIn feed, the X timeline, trends and account suggestions, supports custom CSS selectors, stores all settings locally in Chrome and needs no user account.

What the extension looks like

Main switch for all platforms
Separate toggles for X and LinkedIn
Licence status shown after server verification
Notifications and the composer stay usable

Hide the LinkedIn feed

The post feed on the LinkedIn home page is hidden with a CSS rule; the rest of LinkedIn is designed to stay usable.

Home feed on linkedin.com/feed
Post suggestions and “Recommended for you”
Messaging, jobs, notifications, search and profiles stay reachable

Hide the X (Twitter) timeline

On x.com, “For you” and “Following” are hidden; trends and account suggestions can be switched off separately.

“For you” and “Following” timelines
Trends sidebar and “Who to follow” suggestions
Direct messages, search and single posts keep working

Custom DOM selectors

Add any CSS selector to hide additional elements — useful when a platform changes its layout.

Selectors are stored locally and applied on every page load, so the extension stays useful even when LinkedIn or X rename their classes.

No user account, no sign-up

Access is tied to a random installation ID instead of an account — no email and no password required.

On first run the extension generates a random installation ID and a device secret. The secret is stored server-side as a SHA-256 hash only and is used purely for license verification.

Price and cancellation

Social Silencer costs USD 9.90 per month, can be cancelled any time and is billed through Whop.

A custom selector, in one example

Custom selectors are plain CSS selectors; every matching element is hidden on linkedin.com and x.com.

Example: main div[data-id^="urn:li:activity"] hides LinkedIn activity cards, and div[aria-label^="Timeline:"] hides a timeline container on X. Selectors are stored locally and applied on each page load, so you can react to a layout change before an extension update arrives.

Browser support

Social Silencer is a Manifest V3 Chrome extension and targets Chrome on desktop.

Chrome on Windows, macOS and Linux
Chromium-based browsers such as Edge, Brave, Opera and Arc can load it, but are not part of our regular testing
Mobile browsers do not support Chrome extensions

Permissions

The extension requests host access to linkedin.com and x.com plus storage for local settings.

Host access is needed to apply the hiding rules on those two sites
chrome.storage keeps your switches and custom selectors on the device
No access to other websites, browsing history, tabs or downloads is requested

Settings stay local

Your switches and selectors live in the browser profile, not on our servers.

Removing the extension removes those settings. There is no sync between browsers, so each installation is configured separately.

Licence behaviour

The extension checks its licence against our server using a random installation ID and a device secret that is stored as a SHA-256 hash.

One licence is tied to one installation
A short grace period covers temporary check failures after a period ends
When a licence is inactive, the hiding rules stop applying; nothing else about your browser changes

Editorial note

Platform compatibility is tested manually on LinkedIn and X before each review date shown above. LinkedIn and X change their interfaces without notice, so a rule that works today can stop matching after a layout update. When that happens, a custom CSS selector can be added in the extension and the built-in rules are updated in a later release.
