Well, how? Recruiters got me job offers when I graduated college. I had no connections otherwise.
You search for job advertisements, and then send in an application!

I wouldn’t lump in Israel in, but good for you.
There have been several spywares developed in Israel and that have been used by them and other governments against civilians, below are just a few examples. Why wouldn't you lump Israel in? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paragon_Solutions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytrox#Predator

So the follow up question, is why is a random website, allowed to try and load arbitrary files?
Chrome exposes these files via a URL that you can fetch in javascript like you would any other file on a normal website. These local extension files usually contain code, styles or images that your browser needs to run the extensions.
The browser needing access and a random website having access are quite different. Seems like a big ol' pile of vulns waiting to happen.
LinkedIn without the news/post feed would be fine

LinkedIn is a cesspool, but it’s almost worthless to me without the recruiters. They’re basically the only reason I’m there.
Also a lack of LinkedIn account makes you more suspicious and less likely to get hired. So this is additional value in having an account. For appearances.
A previous coworker had been not especially good at his job and left after two months, and a little later I went looking for his LinkedIn to see where he'd ended up. Couldn't find him but didn't give it much thought. A friend told me that he was working at a company up the street but was also working another job at the same time, and the penny dropped - you can't have LinkedIn and be working two jobs at once and reasonably expect to get away with it or get hired again.
Call me crazy but both Google and MS started doing weird things like that since about the dinner at Trump. Did you know that Google Chrome now happily asks you to store your ID/Passport information on top of all the information they offered to store for the last 10 years or so? Why now? Why this crazy "enhanced" feature? ( https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/chrome/e... ) I am far from conspiracy theo…
This kind of tracking has been going on for decades
Why is my Chrome telling random websites which extensions I have installed?
Browser fingerprinting is massively valuable to Google's surveillance/advertising apparatus. This is all working exactly as intended.
This is pure speculation. It is a million times more likely that this data is strictly used to combat scraping and fraud.

I thought the whole point of LinkedIn was getting a job, but that would run afoul of #7. You can ignore the rest of the crap on their website.
How ever did people get jobs before recruiters? /s
