They have actually had one positive influence on my life. After having dealt with exactly what you described a few times, I learned that I don't need anything that's on Pinterest. If a search results returns a pinterest link, I ignore it. If I can't find it anywhere except that link, it's as good as a dead link so I move on. This can be extended to much of the internet. So much peace now.

It is one of my main uses of Pi-Hole: “never, ever let anything from that domain into my network ever again.” If I accidentally click a link, it doesn’t go anywhere. I use it for quite a few domains that show up in a lot of places, but have proven to be an annoyance. I’m believe Pinterest was one of the first to be added for that reason. The ad blocking Pi-Hole provides is a nice bonus, too.

  It would be cool if this could be extended to automatically clearing those junk sites off Google's results, maybe by querying for a few extra pages, deleting the garbage, and then re-assembling them into fewer pages. Google spam filters would be great, I could also put in a rule to eliminate any page title that starts with a number ("Ten great ways to...").

    Google used to have a way to block sites from search results. Do they still have that option?

      They did offer the Personal Blocklist extension[1] for Chrome, long ago. But it's been sunsetted, there are some alternatives. 1: https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-chrome-extension-block-sites-from.html https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-chrome-extension...

      I wrote a userscript to do this if you're interested: https://code.byuu.org/google https://code.byuu.org/google It blocks search and image results by pattern, and also removes the URL tracker wrapping wherever possible.

I’m the exact same. Over time I’ve been trained to ignore every link from google search results that points to Pinterest.

  Why not use an addon? My addon removes all search results for facebook, pinterest

Sounds like my experience too. Any link on pinterest image, ie from google search is met with login/register form. Well pardon my english but screw that approach, pinterest doesn't exist for me.

Same here, I have their domains blocked in my hosts so if I accidentally click I don't see anything.

I constantly tack "-pinterest" on to the end of Google searches...
