FAQ
Is Connection Remover Pro for LinkedIn Safe to Use?
Quick Answer
Yes. Connection Remover Pro for LinkedIn works inside your existing browser session — it never asks for your password, never stores your session cookie, and never sends your connection data to any server. Bulk operations are paced with configurable delays, connections from the last 30 days are hidden by default, and your protected list is never touched. It performs the same remove and unfollow actions you could do manually, just faster.
- Safe by architecture: runs in your own browser session — no passwords, no OAuth, no cloud automation, no data collection beyond license validation.
- Bulk runs are paced (Conservative/Normal/Fast) with randomized delays; LinkedIn never sees rapid-fire bursts.
- Mistake-proofing: protected contacts are excluded from every bulk run, the last 30 days of connections are hidden by default, and batches preview before acting.
- Riskier alternatives store your session cookie on cloud servers — the pattern LinkedIn's detection targets.

No Passwords, No Cloud, No Data Collection
The extension operates entirely in your browser using the LinkedIn session you're already logged into. There is no separate login, no OAuth grant, and no third-party website involved. Your session cookie is read on demand for each action and never persisted or transmitted; your connection list never leaves your machine. The only outbound call the extension makes to PlugMonkey is license validation.
- Works in your existing LinkedIn session — no credentials requested, ever
- Session cookie read on demand, never stored, never transmitted
- Connection data stays in your browser — nothing synced to any cloud
- Only PlugMonkey traffic: a license-key validation call
Built-In Pacing Protects Your Account
LinkedIn's systems watch for inhuman, rapid-fire automated behavior. Connection Remover Pro for LinkedIn paces every bulk operation with delays, and the speed selector (Conservative, Normal, Fast) lets you slow things down further for large cleanups. A progress bar with cancel means you're always in control mid-run.
- Configurable pacing: Conservative, Normal, or Fast
- Randomized delays between actions — no rapid-fire bursts
- Progress bar with cancel on every bulk run
- Free tier's 15 actions/week is inherently conservative
Safety Rails Against Mistakes
Account safety is only half the story — the other half is not removing someone you care about. The protected list locks key contacts out of every bulk operation even when they match your filters, connections from the last 30 days are hidden by default, and every filtered batch is previewed before you act.
- Protected list: bulk operations can never touch listed contacts
- Recent-connection window: last 30 days hidden by default
- Preview filtered results before any action runs
How It Compares to Riskier Approaches
Cloud automation platforms run LinkedIn actions from their servers using your stored session cookie — a pattern LinkedIn actively detects, and reviewers of those platforms report account warnings. A browser extension acting in your own session while you're present is the safer architecture. For the full landscape, see the best LinkedIn connection remover tools roundup.
