-Submit Your LinkedIn Feature Suggestions!

After decades of frustration with the LinkedIn website, I have a developer working on something like a control panel.

Update 21.Dec.2025: I am now publishing here:

NOW would be a great time for anyone to suggest potential features.

Some existing features include:

  • Load and expand all comments, removing images.
  • Hide sidebars.
  • Expand page width.

Implementation will be a bookmarklet, which functions like a bookmark, but instead of loading a page, it will run some JavaScript. So, on any LinkedIn page where you want to use it, you click the bookmarket, select some options, and then click Go.

  • Toggle: whether sidebars appear (default: checked)
  • Percentage slider or text box: page width (default: 80)
  • Toggle: remove profile images from comments (default: checked)
  • Toggle: remove posted images from comments (default: clear)
  • Toggle: load prior and additional comments (default: checked).
  • Toggle: whether to expand More links (default: checked).
  • Toggle: switch from “Most relevant” to “Most recent” (default: checked) – required to load all comments
  • Text: Control any delay(s) between operations (comment paging, etc.).
  • Panel: indicate approximate number of comments loaded
  • Button: Start (switches to pause/resume)
  • CSS: Remove break-all anywhere.

One “nice to have” feature would be if the user selects text and clicks a button in the control panel, it replaces that text with alternate unicode characters (or whatever) approximating some or all of what this does:

I have a couple of working prototypes with lesser functionality:

Here it is loading comments on a long thread for a couple of hours (user experience is much better when it’s a bookmarklet, and when removing images, it doesn’t crash on the long thread):
