Awesome stuff! really good work. thanks dude!

Glad that you like it @Jawads 👍

Thank you so much!

This is great! Thank You so much! If you can get the time, would you be able to update the script to get rid of these elements as well? https://prnt.sc/m6odi4. At least the hashtags, and some stuff that's irrelevant. Thanks! :)

Thanks for your suggestions @moebg I have updated it with them. Also, I was using it on top of uBlock Origin, which was hiding most of the ads, so I've added that as well. Let me know if you see any bugs so I can fix them accordingly.

Revision 0.4 - Updated sort dropdown trigger and added & added Matt T. suggestion for Suggested news stories

Thank you - this works great!
I am free of Linkedin spam.

Thanks again for this excellent script!

Thanks again for this excellent script!

Glad it makes people happy and hopefully productive.

Helped me a lot, thanks!

Hey, I can see that the CSS stuff works, but I don't think that the mutationObserver is actually doing anything.

I've slipped the following under the if !window.location:
console.log("no-one here but us chickenz!");

It doesn't fire at all which suggests to me that it's not actually doing anything with elements that come in ... just hiding everything in the CSS (which is great, by the way).

I'm not trying to be on your case, by the way ... I've been struggling to find a way to make mutationObserver do anything on the LinkedIn feed, and I've been losing ... but I'm a real newb.

EDIT

To be clear, I was trying to use your script to enable me to have a feed, but it's just actual activity from contacts that matters (comments, or posts, basically) ... and I couldn't get the mutation observer to fire.

So now that I have this, I'll hopefully find a way to make it much more efficient. Might publish and then ask for help on stack.

Anyway ... this feels really inefficient, but it works ... I'd love to find a way that's a bit more selective.

(function () { 
$("div.scaffold-finite-scroll__content").filter("div a[href^='https://www.linkedin.com/company'][data-control-name='actor_container']").remove();
  
})();

(function () { 
var targetNodes = $( document );
var MutationObserver = window.MutationObserver || window.WebKitMutationObserver;
var myObserver = new MutationObserver(mutationHandler);
var obsConfig = {
  childList: true,
  characterData: true,
  attributes: true,
  subtree: true
};

//--- Add a target node to the observer. Can only add one node at a time.
targetNodes.each(function() {
  myObserver.observe(this, obsConfig);
});

function mutationHandler(mutationRecords) {
  console.info("mutationHandler:");

  mutationRecords.forEach(function(mutation) {
    //console.log("this was a "+mutation.type);
    //console.log("yallseedis: "+mutation);

    if (typeof mutation.addedNodes == "object") {
      $(mutation.addedNodes).filter("[href^='https://www.linkedin.com/company'][data-control-name='actor_container']").closest("div.relative").remove();
      console.log("yooooooooooooo");
    }
  });
}
})();

I couldn't get it to run on #main or the actual container that updates (2 divs in) which is div.scaffold-finite-scroll__content ... plus I also have to ensure that I include the entire minified jquery, because apparently the include doesn't work, and I also have to inject it ... but it works ... no more companies in my feed! (so far)

@miglen do you think there's anything that can be done to trim this? Does it need all the config options that it has? I'm thinking of replacing the add-on which I'm using with this, as it's quite effective on the company part. I could perhaps easily include checks on containing "commented on" or "loves this", etc.

This script inspired me to write a chrome extension that allows you to show or hide your newsfeed, among other things. It's free and open source. Feel free to pull any of the logic into this script, or visa-versa.
