- by WStegem, 6 months agoRated 1 out of 5Doesn't work for search by image, the only reason I installed it.
- by black black test, 6 months agoRated 5 out of 5
- by Air, 8 months agoRated 1 out of 5Quite simply? Doesn't work. Pinterest continues to pervert my search results. Also requests permission to view a few too many domains for my comfort.
- by Firefox user 13425337, a year agoRated 1 out of 5Kinda works, but it completely breaks Google Maps search, anything you search for returns "No results found".
- by miso, a year agoRated 3 out of 5It doesn't work for Duckduckgo but I added stars just for existing. F**ck the cancer that is pinterest.
- by Firefox user 15135020, a year agoRated 5 out of 5Working for me on Firefox 78 (MacOS). Only works on google though, so no duckduckgo, ecosia, qwant etc.
- by Wilf, a year agoRated 1 out of 5Just didn't work, then again, not much seems to works with what's become the weed of the internet.
Maybe it's about time Firefox themselves started doing something positive about what has basically turned into a spam site. - by andreasr, a year agoRated 1 out of 5Sadly it does not work. Either google or pinterest found a way around it, half of the frontpage results are pintrest. using regex on pi-hole now.
Good idea, though. Needs more work - by Firefox user 13496906, a year agoRated 5 out of 5YES!!! Finally! A Firefox solution. I LOVE the name too, LOL!!!
- by Firefox user 14552292, a year agoRated 1 out of 5Did not block pinterest. In fact it was all the front page results in the google search page
- by Felthas, a year agoRated 1 out of 5This is currently not working for me. Uninstall/reinstall. I have tried everything for this. Last month it was working fine. I hope you get it fixed soon, I love this extension. Please get it up asap.

- by whitepawn, a year agoRated 1 out of 5I was REALLY looking forward to this. Except it doesn't work. Enabled, un-enabled, re-enabled. Reloaded Mozilla. Rinse/repeat. This add-on does nothing.
The only thing that works is -pinterest in the search bar and that only stops pinterest page results, it doesn't stop the top 50 images from being....pinterest which is what lead me here, to this add-on.
Pinterest wins, apparently. - by Mimicus, a year agoRated 4 out of 5Works well with google search but side effect with google maps (can't search/find). It is necessary to temporarily deactivate the module before using google maps
- by Ian Z, a year agoRated 4 out of 5Works exactly as described! My only gripe is that, as someone else mentioned, it does break google maps (and several other of the seamless search features you don't even think about but will definitely miss). Although, you can toggle the extension off easy enough if you do find yourself having some kinda Google issue.
However, all it truly does is append "-site:pinterest.*" to the end of any search phrase you put through any Google field with reckless abandon -- which is why it breaks things like Google Maps and some of the richer features offered as a first result when googling for definitions, translations, or unit conversions.
I don't know that I'll keep it installed to be perfectly honest. I'm pretty sure this add-on could be replaced with a bookmarklet or by simply adding a second Google as a new custom search engine with the earlier string in quotes added into its search URL template.
Might be worth keeping to use for mobile though. - by gene_wood, a year agoRated 1 out of 5Sadly though this works at blocking pinterest, it breaks searching in Google Maps
- by grahamperrin, a year agoRated 1 out of 5Apparently not effective. Tested with image results in Firefox 83.0.
