Can we avoid all the waiting?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I open LinkedIn using LinkOff, it will often take several minutes of load / render / hide cycles until at least a couple of 'real' posts show up. And once I look at those and scroll down a little, the same repeats. The core problem is of course that the ratio of random stuff I don't care about that people in my networked have liked to actual content posted by people in my network is something like 50:1... but the moment I switch away from the browser window, the process stops...
Describe the solution you'd like
I would love for the extension to keep streaming more content until at least ten 'real' articles are ready to be shown - and to start loading more stuff from LinkedIn the moment there are fewer than (maybe) five additional articles are ready to be scrolled to. This way I could reload LinkedIn, do something else for a while, then come back and have a reasonably useful user experience with the site.
Additional context
Again, I understand that the core problem isn't in the extension - and I think that likely what I want is hard / impossible because of the way the browser (in my case, Brave on macOS) is trying to be smart and not to waste cycles in the background...
Hmm, you guessed right that there is no real code solution - LinkedIn will not display posts until they run out, which makes it fairly slow.
Using the unfollow all action in the misc tab and rebuilding your feed might help, other than that a quick and dirty solution would be pressing the middle button on a mouse to get the scrolly thing and leaving it to autoscroll for a few minutes.
Can we display a loading animation instead of the contents flashing in and out ?
That would be nice. Are you able to implement that? I am swamped currently.
