Promoted Pin Hider

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.

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.

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
