## Features
- **Remove Main Feed**: Eliminates the main feed section on the LinkedIn feed page to reduce clutter.
- **Hide News Section**: Automatically removes the news module that can be distracting for users.
- **Clear My Network**: Clears out the "My Network" suggestions for a more streamlined view.
- **Profile Section Management**: Retains essential profile information while removing unnecessary elements from the profile page.
## How It Works
- The extension identifies the current URL and selectively removes specific elements based on the page context:
- On the **Home Feed** page, it removes the main feed, news section, and footer.
- On the **My Network** page, it removes suggestion modules.
- On **Profile** pages, it keeps the essential profile information while removing other sections.
### Code Overview
- **Immediate Removal**: The extension removes unwanted elements as soon as it runs.
- **Dynamic Updates**: It continuously checks for elements every 100 milliseconds, ensuring that even dynamically loaded content is addressed.
## Installation
1. Download the latest version of the extension.
2. Open Chrome and go to `chrome://extensions/`.
3. Enable **Developer mode** in the top right corner.
4. Click on **Load unpacked** and select the extension's folder.
