## 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

2. Open Chrome and go to `chrome://extensions/`.

3. Enable **Developer mode** in the top right corner.
