uBlock for LinkedIn

ublock

# Block things on LinkedIn with uBlock Origin that LinkedIn won't let you block
# Choose "Options" in uBlock Origin with a right-click, and add these to
# "My filters"

# ADDING YOUR OWN FILTERS
#
# Using Linkedin.com as an example
#
# 1. Open up the webpage
# 2. Find some text you want to block
# 3. Open up a console (right-click, Inspect, click the Console tab)
# 4. Using the "greedy" placeholder example, find your text
#
#    $x("//*[(text()[contains(.,'YOUR TEXT HERE')])]")
#
# Click the arrow to expand the result in the console and hover over
# one of the numbered elements shown; it should highlight an element in
# the webpage
#
# The code above usually just finds the HEADER where the text is present. You typically
# want to block one of the parent elements. Which parent element?
#
# You can use the xpath parent navigator syntax to move "up" thru the parents. Just
# take what you wrote above, and keep adding a bunch of /.. values to the end. In between
# each, expand the result in your console and hover over the elements to see if you've
# moved up the tree enough to block the entire element you want

Thanks a lot for this suggestion. Appreciate it. Had to block this staffing agencies which had 100's of jobs on Linkedin. It does help me with that and make my search effective !
