Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When viewing a public LInkedIn profile, LinkedIn will ask a login. Even if I register myself to LinkedIn it will ask a lot of personal information which is so frustrating. I'm a strong advocate of privacy and I don't want to share my personal information just to see a public profile on LinkedIn. It's gone to a point I now completely ignore linkedin profiles because of this.
Describe the solution you'd like
A way to hide the login prompt and clear the blur on the LinkedIn profile page.
Additional context
While LinkedIn is very strict on allowing bypasses, a dummy global account could obfuscate all this info.
Testing right now.

@njelich I will have to warn you though. When a browser extension bypasses something, it is possible that it violates Chrome Store policies, So Google might take down your add-on.
So my advice would be to allow a way to get this bypass from Github optionally.
Prohibited Products:
We don't allow products or services that:
Facilitate unauthorized access to content on websites, such as circumventing paywalls or login restrictions
Yep... Sorry, this feature is not gonna happen.

Fine. I know this would happen. Anyhow Good luck on your project.
Btw, you can still use the above code to achieve the effect. Simply open the developer console, and run the code, then reload.
Actually, maybe I can create a general feature, I'll make a new feature request and tag you
