FAQ

When should I use the extension instead of cloud extraction?

Use the extension when you are already browsing LinkedIn and want to capture visible profiles directly.

Why does the extension miss profiles?

The page type may be unsupported, the profile may not be visible, or browser permissions/login state may need attention.
