## Description

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. LinkedIn's own reporting often
leaves them up, because 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
<ul><li>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. No setup, no lists to
  maintain.</li><li>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.</li><li>You stay in control — every hidden post shows a subtle
  placeholder: restore it, mark it as "not spam", report a missed one
  to the developer, or hide an author entirely — all from the feed
  itself.</li><li>It respects you — zero analytics, zero telemetry, zero network
  requests. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing leaves your
  machine, ever.</li><li>It just works — Manifest V3 for Chrome and Firefox, works across
  feed, profiles, posts, company pages, groups, search, and more.</li></ul>
Features
<ul><li>Automatic detection — 10 built-in patterns across 5 languages</li><li>"Block this author" — from any blocked post's placeholder or a
  profile-link right-click, hide every post from that author feed-wide</li><li>Author whitelist — never block the people you actually want to see</li><li>Custom phrases — exact or contains matching; right-click any text
  to add it instantly</li><li>Full settings backup — export and import phrases, whitelist,
  blocklist, disabled patterns, and hide toggles</li><li>Per-pattern toggles — disable a single pattern, not a whole
  language</li><li>Match attribution — see which pattern or phrase triggered each
  block</li><li>"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</li><li>"Show all" — restore everything hidden this session with one
  click</li><li>Snooze — pause blocking for 30 minutes</li><li>Hide Promoted &amp; Featured — optional feed-hygiene toggles</li><li>Undo and false-positive controls — "Show", "Not spam", and
  exclusion review from the settings page</li><li>Privacy-first — local-only, zero data collection</li><li>Chrome &amp; Firefox — fully compatible (Manifest V3)</li></ul>
What it does not do
<ul><li>Does not report posts to LinkedIn or interact with LinkedIn servers</li><li>Does not remove posts for anyone else</li><li>Does not block accounts globally</li><li>Does not use AI, external APIs, or remote blocklists</li><li>Does not collect analytics, telemetry, browsing history, or LinkedIn
  account data</li></ul>
Install it once. Forget it's there. Enjoy your feed again.
