# LinkedinSponsorBlock

**Clean up your Linkedin feed and see only what matters.**

Tired of sponsored posts, suggested content, or partner promotions cluttering your feed? **LinkedinSponsorBlock** automatically removes these "promotion" posts, giving you a cleaner, more productive Linkedin experience.

These posts look like regular updates but are labeled **"Promotion."** Even standard ad blockers often miss them, this extension catches and hides them silently.
