I recently had a job application that asked for my facebook, twitter, linkedin AND instagram. How ridiculous. I didn't even finish applying.

I responded on Medium as well, but you can also enable this setting on LinkedIn, though admittedly it's tucked away. :)

1. Log into your account on linkedin.com. 2. Hover over your photo in the upper right, and go to manage Privacy & Settings. 3. Select the Account tab. 4. Set the option “Show/hide profile photos of other members.”

Thanks for sharing. Wish it wasn't hidden but regardless we had fun putting this together.

No problem! Great motivation behind building the extension (not coincidentally, it's the same reason I initially used the LinkedIn setting!), and a cool project. :)
