Zelos - AdBlock for LinkedIn Extension

Block ads & promotions posted on LinkedIn. Filter through posted content.

Zelos is a chrome extension that runs in the background and blocks out \"Promoted\" posts on LinkedIn. 1 in 10 posts on the LinkedIn feed are \"promoted,\" and these posts distract the user from other opportunities on LinkedIn. We are providing a free service to remove these posts for the user.

Not only does Zelos filter out promoted posts. But Zelos provides a widget for the user to view the total number of promoted posts blocked on LinkedIn. This widget helps the user gauge the effectiveness of the tool.

Version 1.0
- LinkedIn filter for \"Promoted\" posts.
- Zelos widget for keeping track of total number of posts blocked.

Future Updates
- Automatic categorization of posts on LinkedIn.
- Premium feature to filter out posts by Celebratory, Opinion, Opportunity, Storytime, etc.

Permissions:
- storage: required for communicating to the widget the number of blocked posts from the script that is blocking posts on LinkedIn.
