Hides Promoted Pins
Image from store
Description from store
For Pinterest. Puts a big ol' gap where promoted pins used to be. It ain't PinBlock, but it's better than nothing.
IF YOU ARE STILL SEEING ADS: Please upload a screenshot of your pinterest feed to an image hosting site and include that url in your support post. This will help me identify what the problem might be.
**Updated 09/12/19 - Noticed that some non-ad pins were getting blocked, so that's been fixed. Let me know if any ads sneak through.**
**Updated 08/13/19 - Trying some new stuff out. The app now runs when you first interact with the page, so it's less resource-heavy but you might see an ad before you start scrolling.**
**Updated 03/29/19 - Updated script so it starts before page load, which might help. Or it might not. But it probably won't make it worse?**
**Updated 03/25/19 - Changed method by which script selects promoted pins, hopefully this should fix issues some people have been having**
**Updated 02/25/19 - Added support for all languages!!! That means I looked at ads in every single language that pinterest supports, because I love you all.**
**Updated 11/27/17 - Added support for every international Pinterest domain - Extension should work in every country as long as your language is set to English.**
**Updated 10/13/17 - Added support for Pinterest.ca**
**Updated 07/05/17 - Updated so that it won't break every time Pinterest updates their code.**

- (2022-05-28) Jazmyne Jones: I was so hyped to use it to get rid of those worthless ads no one asked for, but not only did it really slow down the site and made it annoying to use. I saw no difference in the ads. So sorry, this is a one star for me. :(

- (2022-05-07) Callum: This does work, However... It comes with a big performance hit I'm not certain why but I think Pinterest checks if it has served you an Add and because they were blocked tries to serve you more that in turn get blocked and it just loops this behavior On lower end computers they can't keep up with the constant network, CPU and RAM use that comes from this loop of downloading an add then deleting it and looping forever Although I didn't notice the performance loss on my PC, A quick trip to task manager reviles the truth. One CPU core was at max 100% the whole time I was on Pinterest. RAM usages of the tab was bouncing from 300mb to 2gb and back constantly. Network usage was bouncing up and down every time it downloaded a new Add. I think this is a good extension and it does what it's supposed to do but Pinterest Adds don't go quietly into that sweet night. =3

- (2022-04-11) Jeff Shell: Does what it says, but unfortunately slows the site to a crawl. It removes promoted pins (though some seem to slip through) and leaves blanks spaces instead. Makes the site run much slower, and makes it almost impossible actually saving anything.

- (2021-11-29) -: It gets rid of the promoted ads for sure but it also makes Pinterest run at a snail's pace. It's a great idea but totally unusable with how slow it makes the site.

- (2021-09-18) Marieke Hagendoorn: Works as intended, doesn't slow pinterest down for me. Was getting so fed up with every second pin being a promoted one! Big thanks to the developer

- (2021-08-31) Luka Verhoeven: Plugin looks awesome and the adds are actually removed, but when actived pintrest becomes extremly slow. I think there is somekind of performance issue with it.

- (2020-12-22) Daniel Mo: Wonderful app. Thanks for the work and for your efforts. This is an enrichment for everyone. Thank you. Keep up the good work!!! I am sure there are people who want the exact opposite. So that only Promoted pins should be displayed, just like facebook turbo ad app. For business purposes. I would at least be someone who would want exactly that. Do you think you could work on something like that? I would be happy about an answer. Thanks

- (2020-12-13) susan owen: You are my new favorite person. Now I can actually *see* the pins I'm interested in, without them getting lost in the clutter of promoted nonsense. The blank spaces help keep my dash from looking cluttered and/or overwhelming. Many, many thanks!

- (2020-10-25) Emily C: Makes Pinterest actually usable. I wouldn't mind the promoted pins as much if they were at least about things I had some interest in. This hides them all so you don't have to waste any time on them. It also makes you realize how freaking many there are. A third of my feed is empty now, and what's left is things I actually want to see.
