v2.8.0 – LinkedIn new-layout support, popup redesign, update checker

What's New

LinkedIn's new job page design is now supported

LinkedIn rolled out a redesigned /jobs/search-results/ page with fully hashed class names and no semantic hooks. JobSieve now detects and filters cards there:

• New card detection via the componentkey attribute
• Title, company, and location extraction for the new markup
• Promoted / Viewed / Applied / Easy Apply detection in the new footer layout
• Hiding works on the new card wrapper, and the selector health monitor covers the new page

Popup redesign — compact refresh

• Single-row header, slim inline stats strip with expandable breakdown
• Segmented tab control, 2-column quick filter grid
• One-line promo and warning banners — filters are no longer pushed far down

Update checker

• The popup now checks the Chrome Web Store for updates and shows an Update now button when a new version is available
• Footer version is read from the manifest (no more stale version strings)

No new permissions.

v2.7.0

First-run onboarding welcome page. Switched content-script cleanup from beforeunload to
pagehide (bfcache-safe). No new permissions.

v2.6.0 – JobMason promo banner

Adds a JobMason cross-promo banner to the popup. No new permissions.

v2.5.1 – Fix /jobs/search-results/ URL matching

Fixes a bug where filters only applied on /jobs/collections/ URLs and not on /jobs/search-results/. The content script now injects on all linkedin.com/jobs/* pages.

v2.5.0

Full Changelog: v2.0.0...v2.5.0

v2.0.0

What's New in v2.0.0

New Filters

• Hide Promoted Jobs - Toggle to automatically hide sponsored/promoted job listings
• Hide Viewed Jobs - Toggle to hide jobs you have already viewed (detected via LinkedIn visited-link CSS classes and footer status)

Stats Dashboard

• Real-time stats bar in the popup showing hidden, highlighted, and total job counts
• Expandable session breakdown with per-filter counts (Company, Location, Keyword, Promoted, Viewed)
• Per-tag count badges on blacklist tags showing how many jobs each individual entry matched

Dark Mode

• Full dark theme toggle in the popup header (persisted via chrome.storage.local)
• Complete dark-mode CSS variables and component overrides

Expanded LinkedIn Page Support

• Extension now works on Jobs Search, Jobs Collections, and Jobs View pages (previously search-only)
• Updated manifest.json host permissions and content script matches
• Page-type detection (search, collections, view)

Improved Highlight Styling

• Switched from outline to box-shadow (inset border) to avoid clipping by LinkedIn overflow containers
• Refined badge label with gradient background, shadow, and better positioning
• Smoother entrance animation using spring easing (no layout-shifting scale)
• Hover lift effect on highlighted cards

Under the Hood

• Cards are now hidden via CSS class (jobsieve-hidden) instead of DOM removal, making filter toggles reversible without a page reload
• getHideReason() replaces boolean shouldHideCard() for granular filter attribution
• Filter-count tracking per blacklist entry for analytics
• Added .scaffold-layout__list-item and a[aria-label] selectors for broader LinkedIn markup coverage
• New GET_FILTER_STATS message handler for popup to content-script stats communication
• Periodic stats polling (every 3s) while popup is open
• Storage migration ensures new filter keys are present on upgrade
