Cringe Blocker for LinkedIn

A barista said something profound. A rejection was actually a redirection. Someone is humbled to announce. Cringe Blocker for Linkedin hides these posts so you don't lose aura points every time you go for a scroll. HOW IT WORKS The Cringe Blocker extension scans posts as they load in your feed, then checks them against a list of 160 thought-leadership tropes across ten categories: humblebrags, engagement bait, fake parables, contrarian takes that are not contrarian, listicles, corporate jargon, hustle content, fortune-cookie wisdom, and the ever popular AI hot takes. It also catches "broetry" — the formatting where: Every. Line. Gets its own paragraph. When a post matches, we hide it. Nothing is permanently deleted or hidden from you. Just click "show anyway" if you suspect the filter got it wrong. The phrase list is a plain text file inside the extension, so if a particular cliché is haunting you, you can add it. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account. No sign-up. No network requests. No analytics. No tracking. No server. The phrase list ships inside the extension and the matching happens on your own machine as the page renders. The only things stored is your on/off switch and a count of how many posts have been blocked, both of which live in your browser and can be cleared with one click. The extension requests only two permissions: local storage, and access to linkedin.com. That's it.
