## Review summary

Overall, users praise pinterest-guest for removing signup prompts and improving image search usability, with restart-free operation and easy setup. However, reliability varies, with multiple reports of it not working on some setups and persistent login overlays or UI blocks that obstruct content and scrolling. The app is valued for responsiveness to features, but the usability drawbacks from overlays remain the main recurring concern.

- Improves browsing by showing content you want rather than Pinterest-promoted prompts.
- Works without requiring a browser restart, across tabs and sessions.
- Shows quick, responsive support/maintenance and is receptive to feature requests.
- Easy installation and setup.

### Cons

- Some users report it does not work at all on their setup, indicating inconsistent reliability.
- Overlays and UI blocks can obscure content or hinder scrolling, reducing browsing smoothness.
