About FilterIn
What Is FilterIn
FilterIn is a browser extension that lets you hide LinkedIn posts by keyword. You type in a word, and every post that mentions it disappears as you scroll. There's no dashboard to learn and no account to create. The whole thing is a single text field with an add button.
People reach for it to filter LinkedIn content without unfollowing anyone. Think of it as a lightweight LinkedIn feed cleaner you control by hand.
The job it does is narrow on purpose. LinkedIn doesn't let you mute a topic by keyword, only people and companies. FilterIn fills that gap. If AI posts annoy you or you're tired of seeing the same job announcement ten times, you list those words once and the clutter stops showing up.
The biggest limit is scope. FilterIn only runs on linkedin.com and only hides posts. It won't touch comments, messages, or search results, and it won't stop the algorithm from ranking posts. It's a filter layer over the feed, nothing more. Everything stays local too, which is a privacy win but also means your keyword list lives only in that one browser.
Getting Started
- Open the FilterIn page on the Chrome Web Store and click Add to Chrome.
- Pin the FilterIn icon to your toolbar so you can reach it while browsing.
- Sign in to LinkedIn and open your feed.
- Click the FilterIn icon, type a keyword, then press Enter or click Add.
- Reload the feed and watch posts with that keyword vanish. Remove a word the same way to bring them back.

Key features
Keyword Blocklist for LinkedIn
The core tool is a simple list of words and phrases. Add any term and FilterIn scans the feed for it, hiding every post where it appears. It matches text inside posts, so common words work the same way as specific hashtags. There's no limit built into the interface, so you can grow the list as new annoyances show up.
Live Filtering as You Scroll
Filtering runs while you browse rather than in a batch job. New posts load filtered, and pulling a keyword out of the list brings those posts back on the next load. You don't restart the browser or reinstall anything to change your rules.
Local, Account-Free Design
FilterIn has no sign-in, no server, and no analytics. Your keyword list is saved in the browser's local storage, so nothing leaves your machine. That makes it a genuinely private LinkedIn filter: the footprint is tiny (the package is about 10 KB), and the extension can't build a profile of what you hide.
Built Only for LinkedIn
The extension watches linkedin.com and nothing else. It leaves the rest of your browsing alone, which reduces the odds of it breaking other sites. The trade-off is that it does nothing on the mobile app, where the same feed noise still shows up.
No Effect on LinkedIn Itself
FilterIn hides content in your view without changing how LinkedIn works. It doesn't unfollow people, block accounts, or alter your profile, so you can turn it off and see the full feed at any time. Nothing about your account or connections changes.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Free and lightweight, with a 10 KB package and no account required.
- Fully local storage means no data collection, no tracking, and no external connections.
- Keyword-level control goes beyond LinkedIn's built-in mute, which only covers people and companies.
- Changes apply instantly as you scroll, with no reload or restart needed.
Cons
- Chrome desktop only, so it can't clean the LinkedIn mobile app.
- Hides matching posts everywhere, not per-author, which can remove posts you'd actually want.
- No syncing across browsers or devices, so you rebuild the keyword list on each one.
- Keyword matching is literal, so a single word can hide too much if you pick a common term.
