I Built a Chrome Extension to Clean Up My Upwork Feed (And You Can Use It Too)

Like a lot of freelancers, I spend way too much time scrolling through Upwork listings — and let’s be honest, most of them are… not great.

You know the ones:

• “$5 for a full website”

• Jobs from countries that almost never respond

• Weirdly vague postings with 0 spent

After enough of this, I got tired of the noise. So I made a little Chrome extension that cleans up my feed — and figured I’d share it in case it helps someone else too.


So What Does It Do?

It adds a simple filter bar to your Upwork job feed. From there, you can:

  • Blacklist certain countries (or whitelist the ones you do want jobs from)
  • Hide jobs with specific keywords (like “$5 logo” or stacks you don’t use)
  • Keep your feed focused on jobs that actually match your vibe

It works on both the Best Matches and Most Recent tabs. I personally prefer using it on “Most Recent” — way more raw results, and now they’re filtered the way I want.


Why I Made This

Honestly? Just to save time and frustration.

I’m not trying to be picky, but it’s hard to stay motivated when 90% of what you see isn’t even close to what you’re looking for. This way, I can scroll once and be done.

It’s not fancy, but it does what I need — and I figured if it helps me, maybe it’ll help some of you too.
