Description
Pinterest has promoted shopping and ads at the cost of the user experience. This script cleans up shopping promotions, ads, and clutter, and makes the website more user-friendly.
Enjoy browsing Pinterest in peace.
This script uses Semantic Versioning and is currently in development.

Settings
This script has several settings you can toggle from the Tampermonkey dropdown.
| Setting |
Description |
Default |
| Remove Shoppable Pins |
Removes Pins with the Shopping tag icon in the footer. These are often irrelevant, clutter up search results, and promoted by merchants.
Note: if all search results / related Pins are Shoppable Pins, this setting will remove every Pin from the page, leaving a blank page. Unfortunately, this is expected behavior, and is a result of Pinterest cluttering up your results with Shoppable Pins. You may want to try a different search in this case, or disable this setting if you want to see Shoppable Pins. |
false |
| Remove Pin footers |
Removes the text under a Pin image. I find these to be mostly clutter, and usually irrelevant |
false |
| Remove Pin comments |
Removes the comments section and comment box next to a Pin |
false |
| Remove Navbar Notification Icon |
Removes the notification icon from the navbar - I find these to be almost always irrelevant "We found Pins you might like!" notifications, and nothing that actually matters |
false |
| Remove Navbar Messages Icon |
Removes the messages icon from the navbar |
false |
