Reviews & Comments of Promoted Pin Hider chrome extension

works but crashes chrome every ten seconds, same as everyone else.

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,

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. :(

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

Does what it says, but unfortunately slows the site to a crawl. It removes promoted pins (though some seem to slip through) and leaves blanks spaces instead. Makes the site run much slower, and makes it almost impossible actually saving anything.

does abslelutly nothing, pinterest is just like it was before, still full of ads

It worked like a charm. Thank you!

I never use Pinterest without this extension. Most underrated add-on out there. Thank you so much for this!

It gets rid of the promoted ads for sure but it also makes Pinterest run at a snail's pace. It's a great idea but totally unusable with how slow it makes the site.

Amazing and totally recommend because p1nterest is turning into a nightmare. The only problem is it crashes the site every few minutes

Works as intended, doesn't slow pinterest down for me. Was getting so fed up with every second pin being a promoted one! Big thanks to the developer

VIP passes to heaven for the creators of this extension. THANK YOU!

Works as intended but makes Pinterest super slow

Thank you! I'm a bit old to be seeing ads for baby products so they were a bit annoying.

This is the best thing I have ever found thank you so much xx

This extension is WONDERFUL! No more motion sickness from all of the moving ads!

No longer works as of 07.04.21

You are my new favorite person. Now I can actually *see* the pins I'm interested in, without them getting lost in the clutter of promoted nonsense. The blank spaces help keep my dash from looking cluttered and/or overwhelming. Many, many thanks!

Not working anymore, it seems

Makes Pinterest actually usable. I wouldn't mind the promoted pins as much if they were at least about things I had some interest in. This hides them all so you don't have to waste any time on them. It also makes you realize how freaking many there are. A third of my feed is empty now, and what's left is things I actually want to see.

The extension works as expected - hiding all of the applicable promoted pins. But it brings my CPU (i9 9900k @ 5.1GHz) to a crawl in Vivaldi (I haven't tried it with Google Chrome yet). It's rare for a Chromium-based extension to have major problems running in Vivaldi (since the browser is powered by Chromium) but this extension is completely untenable in its current state.

Thank you SO MUCH for making this extension. Pinterest has turned into an unusable dumpster fire of ads, to the point where I and everyone I know stopped using it years ago. This honestly deserves thousands of positive reviews, keep up the great work!

Just bloody awesome....for an artist who's boards are pretty personal and eclectic to me only...this is a godsend....no more completely irrelevant ads and political rubbish. But I am sure it wont be long till they patch it out somehow like before.

I LOVE THIS! I had stopped using pinterest because I got tired of seeing all these almost naked ads for swimsuits that a 60 year old woman would never wear, bras and panties, clothes for young people, shoes and god knows what else they stuck in there. It seemed like they put an ad in every 5 or 10 pins and my page was eat up with ads. This gives me white spaces there, but that is so much better than pins, when I look now, I see quilts, recipes, how to's and stuff that I am interested in. You are a wonderful man for designing this software and if I could give you a hug I would. Thank you so much.

Yeah I don't know what these people are being paid to write good reviews, but this extension works minimally at best. It leaves large white spaces where I assume ads WERE, plus, there are still ads.

Works for me as of the time i'm writing this. Installed, ctrl+f5 to clear cache and no ads in my feed : )

Used to work. Now it doesn't do anything at all.

Recently some ads are starting to leak through. It's been fantastic up until the last couple of weeks.

Used to work but it's not working anymore. Will change to 5 stars once this is fixed, but otherwise this a great tool. Edit: It does work actually, just only when you search for something but not on the homepage.

I hate seeing these ads and pinterest has gotten absolutely out of control. Thanks so much for making it fun again!

Does what it says. But results in really high CPU when browsing through a board. My laptop's fans are going nuts and "Chromium Helper (Renderer)" is at 116% CPU. Turn off this extension and it all goes back to normal on the same board.

2019 - August 16th, and I'm here to say thank you SO much, Steve, for creating this extension! When Pinterest inserted so many utterly useless, irrelevant, and irritating adverts I gave up bothering to visit it. This fantastic extension has made Pinterest usable, and more interesting, again.

Works perfectly in that it does block promoted pins, however when I have the Pinterest tab open on Chrome my computer's CPU usage goes sky-high and my computer's fan has to work hard to keep my laptop from cooking. Uninstalling the extension removes the issue, but of course then the promoted pins come back.

fantastic! it works for chrome and opera perfectly!

Eliminates the ability to scroll using keys. No arrow keys, no space bar. There's no such thing as idle, pleasant browsing anymore, you literally have to drag the scroll bar and that's a jerky, imprecise process.

Thank you for making pinterest usable again. I tried adding filters to uBlock but no luck. This works as advertised!

doesn't work at all :(

Wow, it actually works. Installed it and went straight to my pinterest and did a random search (I never, ever look at my feed) and all the ads were gone with a white space in their place. Thanks for this!

The only one I've tried that actually works in 2018. Thank you!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now need to find one just like this one for ios... you wouldn't happen to be considering a spinoff, would you?

I loved this extension. It saved me from having to deal with the well over 50% of my pin feed that were not even remotely of interest to me. Sadly as of August 2018, this extension breaks pinterest for me. causes An infinite log in loop with chrome, and corrupts the code of the browser. SO all it does is attempt to log me in repeatedly before giving up with the error URI Too long. Even removing it from Chrome does not fix this issue, but it is what starts the issue, i've tested it on Chrome, and canary on multiple machines. Hopefully it will see an update in the future that will fix this issue. Thanks for making it though, it was wonderful while it worked.

So far so good. Bless you to the wonderful human who wrote the code!

I was using Pinterest before it had promoted ads years ago. My use of it significantly decreased since they implemented. But then I found this extension and I'm so glad it works! I had one before that didn't work -- also, if it doesn't work for you immediately restart Chrome and try it. Thank you so much for making this and keeping it updated. You're a saint!

Finally an ad blocker for Pinterest that works again. I was ready to delete my Pinterest account due to the useless and annoying ads.

Oh thank you! It works. My eyes and brain are so much happier. I hate that not only are there often more ads than things I have an interest on but that they limit the number of things I can select to block. This is marvelous. Difference is great enough to make me consider never using their app again.

Actually works. Made Pinterest usable again. Pinterest people should really look into how awful their ad policy is. I keep getting irrelevant ads for Chinese suppliers, things that I am not interested in at all, and most annoyingly underwear - which makes it totally inappropriate and unusable at work.

Works great! No more ugly clickbait ads spamming up my feed!

exactly as described. I'm so happy to no longer have stupid baby name promoted posts on my feed!!!!

This is the only one that actually works to hide the promoted pins. My one gripe is that my frontpage now has a bunch of holes where the promoted pins used to be. It'd be nice to just consolidate those areas as if the promoted pins never existed in the first place.

So far so good. Thank you! I hate the promoted pins!

Thank you so much for making this. It works like a charm!

Thank you! Unless Pinterest ever lets you simply pay to get rid of ads (not holding my breath, but I can dream), I will always search out a pin blocker...

It leaves a blank space where the promoted pins are. I wish I didn't have to do this, but Pinterest is unusable with all the promoted trash strewn everywhere.

Works perfectly! Thank you for this extension!

Works great!

Awesome! works

Thank you for blocking ads of pregnant bellies when I'm trying to look at pictures of Michael Fassbender. Is that Freudian...? I'm not sure, but I love you.

Works great.

Thank you so much, it works great! Now I don't have to see ads of plus size clothing websites when I search for recipes on pinterest.

This worked for me right up until today, so thank you it's been great, but it no longer works, just like Pin blocker. I'm just going to have to boycott Pinterest. I'm sick of seeing adverts of dresses and shoes. I get it, I'm a girl!

I'm totally shocked. Pinblock would not work for me but this one did. Thank you so much.

IT WORKS! Thank you!!!!!!!!

this one works and pinblock does not. Give it a try!

Works great! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
