#LinkedIn Hide Viewed Jobs

A privacy-first browser tool that hides or highlights the job postings you have already viewed on LinkedIn — so you can focus on what is new.

Available as a userscript (Tampermonkey / Violentmonkey) or a standalone browser extension for Chrome and Firefox. No account. No tracking. No external requests.

#What It Does

LinkedIn remembers every job you open, but its interface does not make it easy to skip the ones you have already seen. This tool scans each job card, detects whether you have viewed it or applied to it, and either removes it from your feed or paints it with a subtle color overlay.

It works with LinkedIn's single-page app routing, so detection stays accurate as you switch between search results, collections, and recommended jobs.

#Features

• Hide or Highlight mode: Choose between removing viewed jobs entirely or keeping them visible with a color overlay.
• Smart detection: Separate colors for viewed, applied, active, and keyword-matched cards so you can read your feed at a glance.
• Active card accent: The currently selected job on search and listings pages gets its own color so it never gets lost.
• Custom keywords: Add your own keywords to highlight or hide cards by company name, title, or any text on the card. Matches take priority over viewed/applied detection.
• Scroll Guard: Slows down rapid scrolling through hidden items to reduce the risk of hitting LinkedIn's rate limits.
• Draggable badge: Reposition the on-page control anywhere on the screen.
• Live counter: See how many cards have been detected and how many are keyword matches.
• SPA-aware: Automatically rescans when you navigate between search results or collections.
• Multilingual: Works out of the box on 15+ languages including English, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Swedish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Hindi.
• Customizable colors and opacity: Tune the overlay to your taste with native color pickers and an opacity slider.
• Import / export: Back up and restore your settings as a JSON file. You can replace everything or merge on top of existing settings.
• Persistent window: The extension remembers your window size and position between sessions.
