Declutter Pinterest v1
Description
Pinterest has increasingly promoted shopping, ads, and other clutter that degrade the browsing experience.
This userscript cleans up intrusive shopping promotions, ads, notifications, and other distractions — making Pinterest more user-friendly and peaceful to browse.
This script uses Semantic Versioning and is currently in active development.
Version 1.0.0 and above are considered "Declutter Pinterest v1" (version 0.0.0 and above are considered "Declutter Pinterest v0").
v1 replaces v0, and includes fixes for a redesigned Pinterest UI, performance improvements, and bug fixes. Feedback welcome!
