Hides those pesky, distracting, overused, poorly targeted promotional pins from your Pinterest feeds.

Please note that this extension only works if your Pinterest account is set to display in English.

Change Log:

v1.4.3 - Pinterest again changed their DOM structure in an attempt to negate extensions like this. Pin Buster has been adjusted accordingly.

v.1.4.2 - Pinterest changed their DOM structure again. Pin Buster has been adjusted accordingly.

v.1.4.1 - Altered new pin busting implementation since the one from 1.4.0 had unwanted side effects (sorry about that!).

v.1.4.0 - Pinterest tried to outsmart us by getting sneaky with a new DOM structure specifically designed to negate extensions like this. But a workaround has been implemented that should bring back full functionality.

v1.3.2 - Improved video busting implementation per user feedback. Updated to Manifest V3.

User reviews

Works without major lag, much improved over the last promoted pins extension. However, it doesn't fully block the ads as the picture shows. All pictures and videos appear as black boxes- the ad's text and the brand account that posted it is still visible underneath.
