Install (Load Unpacked)

1. Prepare the folder

• Ensure this repository is on your machine and you know the path to the linkedin-feed-filter/ folder.
• Optional: replace the icon PNGs in icons/ with your own.

2. Load in Chrome

• Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/.
• Turn on "Developer mode" (top-right).
• Click "Load unpacked" and select the linkedin-feed-filter/ folder.
• You should see "LinkedIn Feed Filter" appear in the list; pin it to your toolbar if you like.

3. Configure and use

• Click the extension icon to open the popup.
• Toggle "Enable filtering" to turn filtering on/off.
• Choose Filter mode: Remove or Blur.
• Optionally enable "Only allow technical posts" (strict mode).
• Edit the blocked/technical keyword lists and click Save.
• Open LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/) and scroll; the content script will filter as the feed loads.

4. Options page

• Right-click the extension icon → Options, or visit chrome://extensions/ → Details → Extension options to open the full settings page with more room.

5. Update/Reload

• If you modify files in this folder, go back to chrome://extensions/ and click the "Reload" button on the extension to apply changes.

Enable/Disable behavior

• When disabled, the badge shows "OFF" and the extension stops filtering; previously hidden/blurred posts are restored.
• When enabled, the badge is cleared and filtering resumes automatically on the LinkedIn feed.

Troubleshooting

• Extension won’t load: ensure icons are valid PNGs or remove icon entries from manifest.json if using placeholders.
• Nothing is being filtered: LinkedIn may have changed DOM selectors. Update the selectors in content.js (see comments near scanFeedAndFilter).
• Changes don’t apply: visit chrome://extensions/ and click Reload on the extension after editing files.
• Storage issues: the extension uses chrome.storage.sync; verify Chrome profile sync is enabled if you expect settings to roam.

Notes

• LinkedIn DOM is dynamic and class names change. Adjust selectors in content.js if the filter stops working.
• User data is stored in chrome.storage.sync.
