LinkedIn Auto Connect extension by karthik yacharapu

Objective

This extension, built using the wxt.dev framework and React, automates connection requests on LinkedIn, allowing users to easily connect with multiple suggested profiles.

Assignment Overview

• Target URL: The extension works on the following LinkedIn URL:
  https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/grow/

• UI A floating button with the text “Connect with All” is added to the page.

• Functionality: When the “Connect with All” button is clicked, the extension automatically triggers a click event for all visible Connect buttons on the page. For example, if there are 50 suggested profiles with a Connect button, 50 connection requests will be sent.
