# AnonIn

I almost never want someone to know I visited their LinkedIn profile. But I also

want to know when someone visits my LinkedIn profile. As such I usually keep my

LinkedIn profile viewing options on public. When I want to view someone's

profile, I change my profile viewing options to private. When I'm done, I change

them back to public (if I remember). This is quite laborious.

AnonIn is a Firefox/Chrome extension that automatically changes LinkedIn

visibility to private before visiting a person's profile, changing it back to

previous settings when navigating away.

NOTE TO SELF: considering prompting user to change settings back after period of

time; upon tab close seems very difficult and some users may keep tab

permanently open.
