cool idea. Can this be done for many sites? like macros that take advantage of the site's own JS.

Yeah, if there is jQuery or some other library available. Otherwise just fetch jQuery from the console and append it to the page, and do so.

I left linkedin a long time ago but I still get emails when someone wants to connect. I must have opted out of those a dozen times! Nope, still get 'em. Also, pedant speaking here, "in one click" isn't really an accurate description of this process.

Just mark as spam, life's too short

Even better, create a filter to mark all of them as spam automatically.

Or, you know, don't use jQuery.

Problem here is that I would have to log in.

And really, the problem for me isn't stuff sent to my mail, but invitations sent to every mailinglist I'm a part of.

I went into LinkedIn and deleted all my profile details. No more spam from recruiters, but also no 'ghost' profile I have no control over. Not perfect, but it'll do.

You can't know what ghost profile they have on you.

LinkedIn is pretty bad. But why isn't there something better?

Besides the emails, what do you think could be improved?

Someone..please do one for Redbox. I am tired of getting spammed everytime I rent a movie.

Providing Redbox with your email address is optional, at least with the one I use. All they have on me is the info on my credit card magstripe.

Gmail's spam filter is so good that it even knows that I consider "LinkedIn Today" emails spam, but I still want to read the ones about my network.
