LinkedIn Spam Blocker by Carlos Ortega

Your feed, reclaimed.

LinkedIn's feed is full of "comment CLAUDE and I'll send you the
framework" posts — low-effort engagement bait that clogs your feed,
wastes your time, and adds nothing. Reporting them barely helps: empty
comments are exactly what the algorithm rewards.

LinkedIn Spam Blocker removes them for you — automatically, locally,
and with zero effort on your part. Install it, open LinkedIn, and the
spam disappears while real professional content stays.

Why you'll want it

• It does the work for you — 10 built-in detection patterns across
  5 languages (English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German) catch the
  most common spam structures as you scroll, including school and
  showcase feeds. No setup, no lists to maintain.
• It learns and adapts — add your own phrases, block authors you
  don't want to see, whitelist the ones you do, and teach it what's
  spam in your feed.
• It makes mistakes easy to fix — every hidden post leaves a subtle
  placeholder: restore it, mark it "Not spam", block its author, or
  report it to the developer. Bait in a comment hides just the comment,
  never the innocent post underneath.
• It shows its work — see which patterns actually block for you,
  test any post text against your rules before you rely on them, and
  tune every pattern individually.
• It respects you — zero analytics, zero telemetry, zero network
  requests. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing leaves your
  machine, ever.
• It just works — Manifest V3 for Chrome and Firefox, across feed,
  profiles, posts, company, school, and showcase pages.

Features

• Automatic detection — 10 built-in patterns across 5 languages
• "Never-hide phrases" — name text once and no post containing it
  is ever hidden, even when a pattern matches
• Match tester — paste a post and see exactly which pattern or
  phrase would block it
• Per-pattern stats — see how often each pattern earns its keep
• Comment-level blocking — bait in a comment hides the comment,
  not the post
• "Block this author" — hide every post from that author, from any
  placeholder or profile-link right-click
• Author whitelist — never block the people you actually want to see
• Custom phrases — exact or contains matching; right-click any text
  to add it instantly
• Persistent suggestions — one-click "add as exact" or "add as
  contains" for suggested trigger words; dismissals are remembered
• Full settings backup — export and import phrases, whitelist,
  blocklist, disabled patterns, and hide toggles
• "Report missed spam" — placeholders copy the post text to your
  clipboard and open a pre-filled GitHub issue (reports include which
  language matched); nothing is sent automatically
• First-run walkthrough — new installs get a guided tour of what
  the extension does and how to tune it
• Snooze, "Show all", hide Promoted & Featured — pause, restore,
  and tune your feed
• Privacy-first — local-only, zero data collection
• Chrome & Firefox — fully compatible (Manifest V3)

What it does not do

• Does not report posts to LinkedIn or interact with LinkedIn servers
• Does not remove posts for anyone else
• Does not block accounts globally
• Does not use AI, external APIs, or remote blocklists
• Does not collect analytics, telemetry, browsing history, or LinkedIn
  account data

Install it once. Forget it's there. Enjoy your feed again.
