How to hide the LinkedIn feed and keep the rest

LinkedIn is a work tool with a feed attached, and there is no setting to detach it. Here is what LinkedIn does let you change, and how to keep messages, jobs and search without the feed.

What LinkedIn lets you change

You can shape the feed, not turn it off. The menu on each post lets you hide it or unfollow whoever posted it, and unfollowing a connection does not disconnect you: you stay in each other's network, and their posts stop appearing. In the notification settings you can switch off, one type at a time, most of the alerts that pull you back to the site.

None of that removes the feed. linkedin.com opens on it after you sign in, the logo in the corner leads back to it, and however much you trim it, it keeps filling up with suggested and promoted posts.

The free trick: skip the home page

Bookmark the page you actually go to LinkedIn for, such as linkedin.com/messaging/, /jobs/, /mynetwork/ or your own profile, and open that instead of linkedin.com. It costs nothing and it works, until the first time you click the logo out of habit and land in the feed.

What feed mode does on LinkedIn

Grivun's feed mode runs only on linkedin.com, and Chrome asks permission for that domain alone. It does one thing, on one page:

• Home feed hidden. On the home page the feed column disappears: every post, promoted or suggested, and the box for starting a new one. In its place there is a small card with four links: Messages, Notifications, My network and Jobs.
• Search stays. The top bar keeps working, so you can look someone up or search for a job without passing through the feed.
• Everything else works. Messaging, notifications, profiles, company pages, jobs, your network, and any post someone sends you as a direct link.

Nothing is sent to LinkedIn or anyone else: the feed is hidden inside your browser.

Setting it up

1. Install Grivun.
2. Open the extension's options, go to Feed mode and turn on LinkedIn. Chrome asks for permission on linkedin.com.
3. Hide home feed is already ticked. It is the only thing feed mode hides on LinkedIn.

Feed mode on one platform is free, so LinkedIn on its own costs nothing. Adding YouTube or X next to it is Pro, and every install starts with seven days of full Pro.

Only during work hours

Some people want LinkedIn quiet while they work and do not mind the feed in the evening. Untick Always on (ignore schedule) under LinkedIn and the feed follows your blocking instead: hidden inside your schedule and during focus sessions, back the rest of the time. The schedule is a Pro feature.

Posting without the feed

The box for starting a post sits at the top of the feed, so it goes with it. If you post regularly, write the post somewhere else, switch LinkedIn off in feed mode for the minute it takes to publish, and switch it back on. During a strict focus session that switch is locked, which is rather the point.
