About

This chrome extension filters LinkedIn jobs further with your own list of blocked companies. The jobs are lazy loaded in and a lot of them are promoted. For me in this case I'm avoiding recruiting/consulting companies and trying to target companies directly.

How to use

This is loaded as an unpacked extension.

Select the chrome-extension folder.

See the manifest.json file on what is being used.

• lijfce.css styles are injected
• script-loader.js adds two scripts:
  • block.js (array of known unwanted companies)
  • lijfce.js (LinkedIn Job Filter Chrome Extension) this is pretty much "main" where all the code lives

It binds a scrollend handler to the job list on the left. Then it removes job nodes based on your filter. The blocked company list grows via a localStorage entry as you block more companies. A stats panel is also injected (blue top-left) which can show a counter for jobs you applied to so far.

Development Note

When you modify files in a loaded extension you have to refresh it in the Chrome Extensions page.
