Install the extension
LinqSender runs LinkedIn from your own browser, through a small extension. Nothing is installed on your computer beyond that, and your LinkedIn password never leaves LinkedIn.
The five steps
- Download the extension from the install page and unzip it. Keep the folder; the browser loads the extension from it, so do not move or delete it afterwards.
- Open your browser's extensions page. The install page shows the exact address for your browser and copies it for you.
- Turn on Developer mode. The switch is on the extensions page; the install page says where for your browser.
- Choose Load unpacked and pick the unzipped folder.
- Pin the extension, open LinkedIn in a tab, and pair your account from Accounts.
If the switch is greyed out
Your browser is managed by a workplace or school, and folder-installed extensions are blocked there. Use a personal browser profile instead.
At start-up
Some browsers ask whether to disable developer-mode extensions when they start. Choose Cancel. Disable would switch the extension off.
