How to turn off the LinkedIn feed
There is no setting for this. LinkedIn will sort the feed differently, but it will not remove it, because the feed is the product. Three manual routes get you most of the way. The one-click version is at the end.
Route 1 · Built in · Tedious, and incoming only
Unfollow everyone
You can stay connected to people while unfollowing them, which empties the feed at the source. LinkedIn keeps the controls at My Network, under People I follow, one unfollow per person.
The catch: with hundreds of connections this is an afternoon of clicking, LinkedIn refollows anyone you newly connect with, and an empty feed is not a gone feed. The page still opens on a feed column that LinkedIn fills with suggested posts when your own network goes quiet.
Route 2 · No tools at all · Discipline required
Never land on the home page
Everything useful on LinkedIn has a direct address. Bookmark linkedin.com/jobs, linkedin.com/messaging, and linkedin.com/mynetwork, and enter through those instead of the front door. The feed only exists if you visit it.
The catch: LinkedIn's own links, its emails, and its logo all route back to the feed, so a single stray click puts you in the scroll. This route works exactly as well as your habits do.
Route 3 · uBlock Origin · Blunt instrument
Hide the feed with uBlock Origin filters
In uBlock Origin's dashboard, under My filters, paste:
www.linkedin.com##main.scaffold-layout__main .scaffold-finite-scroll
www.linkedin.com##aside.scaffold-layout__asideThe first line removes the feed's infinite scroll container, the second the news rail beside it.
The catch: uBlock's element filters apply to the whole domain, not to a single page, and LinkedIn reuses these container classes across the site. The same rule that hides the home feed can blank the main column on other pages that scroll the same way. You also inherit the usual selector rot: LinkedIn renames a class, the filter dies quietly.
The one-click version
Quiet Feeds
freeQuiet Feeds is a free Chrome extension that hides the feed only on the feed page, because its rules carry a URL scope that domain-wide filters cannot express. Jobs, messaging, profiles, and search behave exactly as before, the news rail goes with the feed, and each surface has its own toggle. When LinkedIn changes its markup, the fix arrives through a public rules file within a day.
It collects nothing. No analytics, no accounts, and the whole privacy policy fits on one page.
