Pinterest is one of those sites that really makes me want to strangle someone. It’s just an abhorrent walled garden of other people’s property.

- giancarlostoro 5y agoIf I were on Pinterest looking up things, fine. But I'm on Google, not trying to find a mirror of what I want, I want what I want. Edit: I have a friend who works there, but not as an engineer haha I'm pretty sure I've told him my woes with pinterest. My wife loves pinterest though. It allows her to come up with amazing design ideas and art ideas.
- asddubs 5y agoThe main problem is really just that they show up for basically every search, a bunch of times, and when you click through, you can't get to the image without signing up/in
- richardfey 5y agoPinterest is one of those sites that I would block forever, if I could customise my search experience.
- giancarlostoro 5y agoAs much as I avoid giving google any of my money I would literally pay them to be able to block domains from results.
- conanite 5y agoAdd this to your browser's search engine list and make it default: {google:baseURL}search?q=%s+-site:pinterest.*
- wyclif 5y agoIf on Firefox, do you need to add the optional search bar (with the magnifying glass) in order to access "Change Search Settings"? Because I'm not finding it anywhere.
- LordDragonfang 5y agoDoesn't help with reverse image searches, which accounts for probably 90% of the times I end up clicking on a pinterest link.
- richardfey 5y agoThat's a brilliant solution, thanks!
