🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A browser extension that automatically suppresses 'download our app' banners on specific professional networking sites.
  2. A user-preference setting on the LinkedIn website to permanently opt-out of app-download prompts.
  3. A browser-based 'reader mode' tool that strips away promotional overlays and focuses only on content.
