IANAL, but I think this is right.

My understanding of the LinkedIn v HiQ case is that it's legal to scrape public pages no matter what is in the website terms.

Scraping "privet" pages can be illegal as you have had to explicitly agree to the terms.

Your users would be breaking those terms, not you, as they do it on their own machine. As the parent said, just remove all reference to LinkedIn and you can move on.
