Hide Ads On LinkedIn

1. Add a userscripts browser extension like Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey.
2. Install each of these scripts as a user script.

If you want to improve performance, you could merge these into a single function and observer, but the performance has been fine for me and this gives you flexibility on what aspects you want to hide.
