I have been spending a lot of time on LinkedIn lately and one feature I find annoying is the infinite scroll.

I simply want to learn more about some companies: their size, earnings, number of employees, mailing address, etc.
So I go to the company page on LinkedIn and quickly scroll to the bottom.
However, I only read about one line about the company before more content loads and the company profile gets pushed down off the page. So I have to scroll down again to get back to the profile.

Is there a way to disable this infinite scroll feature? Better yet, perhaps a hot key or something that takes me straight to the bottom of the page, so I can read a company profile without having to repeatedly scroll down?

This is a design quirk of modern social feeds rather than a broken browser. ’s Lockheed Martin test shows the problem well: the activity feed keeps appending so the “bottom” keeps moving. A faster, more reliable approach is to open the company’s static About page instead of scrolling through the feed — LinkedIn Pages use stable URLs (linkedin.com/company/<your-company>) and many tools target the company “About” path directly. (linkedin.com)

Practical steps that work today:

  • Open the company page URL and append /about/ (for example: https://www.linkedin.com/company/<company-name>/about/) to jump to firmographic details (website, size, headquarters, description). If the company uses a vanity name the same pattern still applies. If you prefer a quick fetch from the command line (public pages only), you can try a simple request like:
    curl -L "https://www.linkedin.com/company/<company-name>/about/" -o company-about.html

    Note: some content may require being logged into LinkedIn; public availability varies. (bardeen.ai)

If the About page is still hard to reach in the browser, use DevTools to temporarily remove or hide the feed container so the profile block stays visible: open DevTools (F12), use the Elements/Inspector to select the feed element and choose “Hide element” or press Delete to remove it (changes are temporary and reset on reload). Another quick trick is to disable JavaScript from DevTools (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P → “Disable JavaScript”) to stop dynamic loading while you copy the static info — be aware disabling JS can also hide some elements. (developer.chrome.com)

If you need structured data at scale, use LinkedIn’s official APIs (organization endpoints) or reputable business-data sources (company website, Crunchbase, SEC EDGAR for public companies). Avoid automated scraping or browser extensions for mass harvesting — LinkedIn’s policies prohibit scraping and third‑party tools that modify or copy site content and using them risks account action. For occasional lookups the About page + DevTools approach is usually the quickest, safest fix. (learn.microsoft.com)

A follow-up to this question and then I will mark it "Solved."

Apparently, there is no quick and easy way to get to the bottom of a LinkedIn page that has MANY pages worth of data (I think the same applies to pages on any other site with infinite scroll, for example, Facebook, blogs, etc.). After looking around, I noticed a similar question had been asked in the LinkedIn "Help" section but no solution has been provided.

A couple options that may help getting to the bottom of a page quicker:
Use Control-End, or Shift-End, to scroll through more pages at a time (may save a few clicks).
Right-click on the scroll bar and then select "Top" or "Bottom" to quickly get through pages.

In either case, you get to a point where you are prompted to "Show More Updates", so you are still not really at the bottom of the page. I tried these techniques out on Lockheed Martin's LinkedIn page and never did go all the way to the very bottom.

So, at this point, there is no hot-key or function to quickly get to the very bottom of a LinkedIn page that has MANY entries.
