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.
