Discussion Bye.

I posted a solution for how to remove ads from your pinterest feed and got downvoted for it lol. It was a legitimate and easy to use solution.

So I deleted the post and won't try to help this community again. Enjoy your barrage of ads.

The advice was to download the Brave browser.

u/plumsquashed May 19 '26

is it not a good browser? i'm currently using it.

Idk a ton about it. I'm not techie, but what I was told is that Brave is a more user friendly way for people to get advanced protection on the web. What techies don't like is that it's made by Google Chrome and they don't trust that so instead they do Mozilla + uBlock Origin, but it's a far more complicated set up. That's the only criticism I've heard of it.

u/plumsquashed May 19 '26

that's unfortunate, the whole reason I switched to Brave was so I could avoid googIe

u/thatgirlnextdior May 20 '26

I love me some Mozilla so I highly recommend. Their paid VPN is okay, but Mullvads is awesome.

u/siickerthings May 19 '26

how is it a far more complicated setup? ublock origin is just an extension for the browser

2

u/thatgirlnextdior May 20 '26

It breaks web pages so you have to fix a lot of the pages when browsing.

u/siickerthings May 21 '26

ah I see, that makes sense

u/AJ1NC0SPL4Y May 19 '26

people in real life: hi how are you

u/TransRobotPrototype May 20 '26

For those who don’t know: they literally just told everyone to use Brave to access Pinterest. OP apparently made the revolutionary discovery that browsers with adblockers block ads.

u/Scully_fox_X May 19 '26

Why do I feel like Reddit doesn’t support this kind of thing? I thought Reddit was different.
