ApplyW v0.1.7 — The new job search page

LinkedIn has been rolling out a redesigned job search results page, and handing it to more
people every week. If you got it, ApplyW did nothing on it: no Hide buttons, no toggles,
your filters silently not applying. This release meets LinkedIn on the new page — not
all the way, but most of it, and these notes are specific about which parts.

What's new

ApplyW works on the redesigned results page

The new layout shares almost nothing with the old one — different markup, different
structure, job titles that aren't written down anywhere obvious. ApplyW now reads it.

• Hide a job — one click, same as always, and it stays hidden across reloads and
  searches. The button is a small icon rather than a labelled pill, because the new page's
  action row is too tight for anything else.
• Hide Applied / Hide Viewed — both toggles now sit alongside LinkedIn's own filters on
  the new page too.
• Your existing settings still apply. Anything you've already hidden stays hidden, and
  blocked companies and excluded keywords still filter by job title. Nothing to set up
  again.

Not on the new page yet: blocking a company, and the Language and Keywords filter
panels. This isn't an oversight. Those need the full text of a job description, and the new
page only loads a description when you open a single listing — there's no equivalent of the
bulk load the classic page does as you scroll. Rather than detect language from the job
title and get it wrong, ApplyW doesn't offer it there at all.

A way back to the classic job search

only reach it by typing the URL.

ApplyW now adds a button on that page that goes straight there — which matters more than it
sounds, because the classic page is still where every filter works.

A clearer popup

The popup now leads with the thing you opened it to do: Open LinkedIn Jobs, in a new
tab, in one click. If ApplyW is already filtering the tab you're on, it says so instead of
offering to send you somewhere you already are.

A new name on the Chrome Web Store

ApplyW - LinkedIn Job Filter: Hide Applied & Viewed Jobs, Block Companies. Same
extension, same everything — it was simply impossible to find under a name that said only
"ApplyW".

• The two pages now behave differently, and that's visible. On the classic page you get
  labelled Hide and Block buttons, a language badge and both filter panels. On the new page
  you get an icon and two toggles. Same settings underneath.
• Existing hidden jobs, blocked companies, keywords, languages and metric counts all carry
  over untouched.

Privacy

One thing changed, and it's worth spelling out. ApplyW's scripts now load on LinkedIn
pages generally, rather than only on the job search URL. That's what lets it notice you
clicking through to job search at all — LinkedIn is a single-page app, so moving from the
feed to Jobs never reloads the page, and Chrome only injects scripts on real page loads. A
script that waited for the job search URL would never start.

Loading is not reading. ApplyW still only reads and changes the job search pages themselves;
on your feed, your messages and your profile it does nothing at all.

Everything else is unchanged: no new permissions (still just storage), no backend, no
analytics, no account, no network requests of its own, and nothing about your browsing
collected, transmitted or shared. Full detail in the
privacy policy.
