Promoted Pin Hider Extension

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.**

Mikayla Ingham (ID: 0000001a9f4de9b1) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/07/2022 Honestly not worth it with how slow the site becomes and the crashing every couple of minutes. Obviously not going to be addressed either with how long this has been an issue,

Jazmyne Jones (ID: 0000001da86bee73) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/28/2022 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. :(

Callum (ID: 000000a5e0a5f874) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/07/2022 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
