v1.0.0

ApplyW v1.0.0 — Out of beta

ApplyW has carried a Beta tag since its first release, and LinkedIn's redesigned job search
page was the last thing standing between it and a version number without a qualifier.
Block works there now, the filter toggles stay where you put them, and the Beta tag is
gone from the popup.

What's new

Block a company from the new job search page

Blocking used to mean opening a job first, and it only worked on the classic search page. On
LinkedIn's newer results page there's now a Block button on every job card, next to Hide.

One click and every listing from that company disappears — from this search, and from every
search after it.

It's one click, with no confirmation, so it sits on the card in red rather than sharing
Hide's neutral styling. If you hit it by accident, the blocked companies list in the popup
unblocks in one click.

The filter toggles stay styled

Hide Applied and Hide Viewed were rendering as bare, unstyled checkboxes on the new results
page — recognisable if you squinted, but plainly broken.

Two things are fixed. They no longer borrow LinkedIn's own styling, so a LinkedIn restyle
can't strip them again. And they now come back by themselves after LinkedIn rebuilds its
filter bar — which is exactly what happens when you reach job search from the top navigation
rather than by typing the URL, i.e. the way most people get there. Previously they vanished
for the rest of that page's life.

No longer beta

What 1.0 means here is narrow and worth stating plainly: the feature set is settled, both of
LinkedIn's job search pages are supported, and nothing about how your data is handled has
changed or is going to change quietly. The Beta tag is gone from the popup header.

Worth knowing

• The Language and Keyword filter panels are still classic-page only. Both need the full
  text of a job description, and the new page only loads one when you open a single listing
  — there's no bulk load as you scroll, the way the classic page does it. Filtering on
  guessed data would be worse than not offering it. Your saved keywords still filter by job
  title on both pages.
• Block is placed differently on each page. Classic: inside the opened job, next to the
  company name. New: on the card itself. The classic page's placement is the deliberate one
  — you've looked at the company by the time you block it.
• Nothing you've already hidden, blocked, or configured is affected by this update.

Privacy

Unchanged, and unchanged in substance since 0.1.6. No new permissions — still storage and
nothing else. 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.
