Sean Devlin (ID: 000000eeb5c9fb0a) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/09/2020 I love the newsfeed disappearing, but it also prevented LinkedIn profiles from loading properly. The entire top sections of profiles are removed, and I couldn't figure out why until I uninstalled the extension. Please fix this so I can re-install the extension and change this review! Thanks.
