Good Friction

Feeds used to ask if you wanted more.

The Next page button told you where you were — page 6 of 108 — and gave you a moment to choose whether to go on. Engagement metrics took it out. Good Friction brings the choice back to LinkedIn.

Free · No account · Nothing leaves your browser

You used to know how far you'd scrolled.

Pages turned. Time on the feed. Just the number, in the corner — no judgment, no history, no streaks. It sits where it sits and minds its own business. You can hide it if you want. Most people don't.

The feed stops, and asks.

When you reach the end of a page, one prompt appears before the next load. Keep going? Walk away? You decide. It's the moment of choice, returned — the kind of friction that used to be built into the web. The kind that made our time feel like ours.

This is a nudge, not a blocker. You can't quit LinkedIn — it's where work lives. Blockers don't work for tools you can't quit. So Good Friction doesn't block, hide, or shame.

Without it, the feed never ends.

With it, you decide.

Comparison of LinkedIn with and without Good Friction — without, the feed scrolls forever; with, a pause card appears with a small counter

No setup. No configuration.

  1. 01 Install from the Chrome Web Store.
  2. 02 Open LinkedIn and browse the way you always do.
  3. 03 The counter appears. When you reach the bottom, the pause-gate asks if you want to keep going.
  4. 04 That's it. No accounts, no dashboards, no streaks.

Nothing leaves your browser.

  • LinkedIn pages. The content script injects the counter and the pause-gate. It runs on linkedin.com and nowhere else.
  • Local storage. Your preferences live in your browser. The session timer runs in memory and resets when you close the tab.
  • No accounts, no tracking, no servers, no network requests.

Good Friction succeeds when you need it less.
