How to hide the LinkedIn feed

A LinkedIn feed blocker that hides the home feed instead of blocking the whole site.

How can I hide the LinkedIn feed without blocking LinkedIn?

Install Social Silencer, a Chrome Manifest V3 extension, and switch on the LinkedIn rule. The extension hides the post feed on the LinkedIn home page with a CSS rule and leaves the rest of linkedin.com untouched by that rule, so messaging, notifications, search, jobs and profiles stay reachable in the same browser session.

This answer summarises the key point of this page.

To hide the LinkedIn feed, install a browser extension that hides the feed container with a CSS rule rather than blocking linkedin.com. Social Silencer does exactly that: after you switch on the LinkedIn rule, the post stream on the home page is no longer rendered on screen, and the rest of the site loads as usual.

Set it up in four steps

Install, unlock, enable the LinkedIn rule, reload the page.

  1. Install Social Silencer in Chrome and pin it to the toolbar.
  2. Open the extension and start the subscription; the installation is unlocked automatically once payment is confirmed.
  3. Switch on “Hide LinkedIn feed” in the extension popup.
  4. Reload linkedin.com/feed — the post stream is gone, the navigation stays.

What stays available

The extension is designed to keep the parts of LinkedIn you use for work available.

If you open a post link directly, it still opens. Only the endless stream on the home page is hidden.

  1. Messaging and message notifications
  2. Search for people, companies and posts
  3. Profiles, your own profile and connection requests
  4. Jobs, applications and saved jobs
  5. Notifications and single post URLs you open deliberately

Why a site blocker is the wrong tool here

Domain blockers work on the whole of linkedin.com, so they also remove messaging, job applications and profile lookups.

Time limits expire and put the feed back; logging out is not practical when you use the network daily. Hiding one element keeps the account usable and removes the part that invites scrolling.

Limitations you should know

LinkedIn changes its markup from time to time, and a layout change can make a bundled rule miss its target.

  1. After a LinkedIn redesign, an element may reappear until the extension is updated.
  2. Until then you can add the element’s CSS selector yourself in the extension.
  3. Content that LinkedIn renders inside other surfaces (for example a notification preview) is not part of the feed rule.

Add your own selector

Right-click the element, choose Inspect, copy a stable selector and paste it into the custom selectors field.

Example: main div[data-id^="urn:li:activity"] hides activity cards. Custom selectors are stored locally in your browser and applied on every page load.

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.
