var UnfollowFunction = setInterval(function() {
var UnfollowButton = document.querySelectorAll("ul > li [data-control-name=\"actor_follow_toggle\"].is-following");
for(var i = UnfollowButton.length - 1; i>=0; i--) {
TotalUnfollowed++;
UnfollowButton[i].click();
}
}, 1000);
var ScrollToBottom = setInterval(function() {
window.scrollBy(0, 12.5);
}, 15);
function CheckPageEnd(LastHeight) {
var CurrentHeight = document.body.scrollHeight;
if(!(CurrentHeight > LastHeight)) {
clearInterval(ScrollToBottom);
clearInterval(UnfollowFunction);
alert("Total Unfollowed: " + TotalUnfollowed);

You can also use the Chrome Extension to to bulk unfollow people or companies.
- Open the extension popup by clicking on the extension icon.
- Select an option "Unfollow People You are Following" or "Unfollow People Who are Following You"
- Then it will open target option page and ask "Are You Sure You Want to Unfollow All Peoples?" Click on "Yes". Now it will auto scroll and unfollow all people or companies and it will show you the progress. Click on "Stop" to stop unfollowing.
Modifying The Manifest File The “manifest.json” file is containing all information of the extension. Modify this file to update the extension name, description and icon.
Compiling to Chrome Extension Package To compile the source files, first switch to “Developer mode” from (chrome://extensions) the extension page of Chrome.
Now click on “Pack extension…” button the select the folder congaing the source files and pack the extension. The “Private key file” is not required.
Installing: Just drag and drop the packed extension (.crx) file to install it.
We used pure JavaScript to develop this extension. There is no JS library. The popup.js file is using "chrome.extension.sendMessage" api to send message to the background.js file. The background file is opening target URL in the active tab and executing the unfollow.js file on that tab.
You can also copy paste the codes of unfollow.js to console to get the unfollow feature with nice UI.
