How to remove link tag rel="alternate" from blog page head

This code in the header via code injection allowed me to remove the link tag.  I'm not sure if it'll be effective with Google's scraping of the site.  I guess that will depend on whether they run scripts with their bots in the same way a loading browser does.  But beyond that, can you think of anything wrong with this code?

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $("link[rel='alternate'][title='RSS Feed']").remove();
</script>

You cannot remove code from the head section as it is controlled by the backend, to which you have no access. You may want to contact Squarespace Customer Care to point out the issue and see if they have any suggestions. If not, you could raise this with them as a feature request.

Thanks for the reply.  I did reach out to Customer Care, and they said they don't provide the feature.  I asked them about a code injection "hack" to temporarily address it, and they told me i should try here to see if anyone has any suggestions, since they don't provide support for custom code.  How would i go about requesting that as a feature?

The same way unfortunately; through a Customer Care ticket.

Hah!  Almost instantly, that worked.  My show is now on Google Podcasts. 😁

Interesting. I guess they must not process the page until scripts have run then.
