Afaik, archive.md / archive.today used to work but now it doesn’t.

Even when browsing while signed in, linkedin will notify them about any person who viewed their profile. I know one can turn on anonymous mode, but still it will notify them.

Does anyone know a way to browse this website without being logged in ?

    I used to use it when confirming contact names and positions for people who requested work from our company.

    But all I want is to see Joe Bloggs (ah yes, he spells it with two Gs) works at Widget Co, and they are indeed the technical manager. I’m not there to make friends or recruit people so I don’t want them seeing I’m looking them up.

        You think a public LinkedIn profile - full of information curated and posted by the user with the full intention that it be seen by the public - is the equivalent of a private residence and personal phone line?

            You analogy is terrible.

            A better one is handing out business cards everywhere you go but then expecting to know who looked at them and when.

            Are you in marketing? This smacks of tracking links on emails so you can start ringing any customer who clicked on your spam because now they’re a “lead”.

                This is absolutely fascinating to me… That someone would go out of their way to make a public profile for people to view, but then expect to be notified whenever someone views it.

                What’s your goal with knowing who looked? Is it so you can return the favour and if it’s a profile you find attractive start hitting them up for drinks after work? If it’s a more powerful person in your industry, to start weaseling an invite to the exclusive country club they are part of? To see if it’s some rube you can sell a box of widgets to? To climb the corporate ladder by mimicking their achievements?

                FYI I just looked at your Lemmy profile. And I reckon I might do it again in a moment. Probably even take a screenshot… for later.
