Distraction free for Linkedin™ Extension

This extension hides potential distractions on LinkedIn™, including the newsfeed, suggested news, ads, and suggested people to follow. This lets you get in, get out, and get it done.

This extension is free and opensource. It is is not affiliated with or produced by LinkedIn™. I've gotten a lot of value from LinkedIn™ in the past, and hope this extension will help you use it even more effectively.
