LinkedIn is awesome, except when you land on a user's profile and it's full of holes. There's too much information that's hidden from the public, even though it's actually publicly available.

LinkedIn Reveal changes that. It's a smart Google Chrome extension that shows you what's hidden on LinkedIn user profiles.

I made it, so check it out and ask me what ever you want to about it! :)

Permissions: Read and Change my data on LinkedIn and view browsing history seems a bit suspicious.
I only asked for the most basic permissions as detailed on extensionizr.com

The only reason I need "change data on LinkedIn" and "view browsing history" is so we can redirect you to the right profile page.

Fair enough, just a bit wary of "new apps" permissions, but often will add extensions without reading permissions if it is known app. Note to self reassess criteria for reading permissions.
