Free Chrome extension
FeedFilter — a cleaner LinkedIn & X feed
Hide the posts you never wanted to see — stale, out-of-network, promoted, and anything from a person or word you list. It needs no API key, no account, and makes no network calls. Everything runs in your browser.
Coming soon to the Chrome Web Store
FeedFilter is in review. It is free, private, and needs no account — the listing link will appear here once it is live.
What FeedFilter does
It does exactly one thing: filtering. No scoring, no ranking, no AI.
Hide old posts
Hides anything past a reply window you choose, or past each platform's own window by default — the week-old resurfaced posts LinkedIn likes to show.
Treat posts with no date as old
The strict half. Promoted and resurfaced cards often carry no timestamp; without this they slip through.
Show only people in my network
LinkedIn's connection degree. Choose 1st and 2nd, or 1st only / 2nd only for a stricter cut.
Hide promoted posts
LinkedIn's Promoted label, and X's Ad / Promoted label (best-effort — X changes its markup more often).
Never show a person or a word
A hide list for names (matched whole-word, so muting "Raj" never hides "Rajesh") and for words or phrases.
Filtered, not gone
Filtered posts are collapsed with a "show anyway" strip by default, and the label says why — for example, "Filtered — old (3d)".
Platforms
One extension across the five feeds you already scroll — no account, no API key.

Lists
Three lists in one place — who to always show, who to never show, and the words that hide a post.
Always show
People whose posts are never hidden, whatever else matches.
Never show people
People to always hide. Names match whole words and handles match exactly.
Never show words
Words or phrases that hide a post — matched against the author's own post text only, never the comments.
Private by design
No network requests, no API key, no account, no server. The only stored data is your filter settings and hide lists (chrome.storage.sync). Content scripts run only on the feeds above, and there is no background worker.
Filtering clears the noise. Surfolks shows you who matters.
FeedFilter removes the posts you never wanted to see. Surfolks turns the activity from the people you care about into a focused daily feed — then helps you find the people and conversations that matter to your goals.
Get startedFrequently asked questions
Is FeedFilter free?
Yes. FeedFilter is a free Chrome extension with no account, no API key, and no sign-up. It is made by Surfolks as a free tool.
Does FeedFilter send my data anywhere?
No. It makes no network requests and has no server. It works only from what is already on the page — post age, connection degree, an ad label, and the post text you ask it to watch for. Your settings and hide lists stay in your browser (chrome.storage.sync).
Which sites does it filter?
LinkedIn and X are the primary targets, and it also filters Hacker News, Reddit, and Threads on recency. Only LinkedIn reports a connection degree, so the network rule never touches the other sites.
Will it hide posts from people I care about?
No. Anyone on your "Always show" list is never hidden, whatever else matches. Filtered posts are also collapsed with a "show anyway" strip by default, and the label says why — for example, Filtered — old (3d).
How is this different from Surfolks?
FeedFilter clears the noise out of your feed on the site you are already on. Surfolks goes further: it collects the activity of the people you choose into one focused feed, so the people worth your attention are easier to find. FeedFilter is the filtering half.
