How to Skip Pinterest's Annoying "Login / Sign Up" Popup

Skip and ByPass the "Pinterest Login" Popup without an account

This goes along with the long and infamous list of "Pinterest Fails" and the hundreds of other websites that force its users to create an account to progress from the homepage. It is this kind of slimy manipulation that makes the internet a more laborious way to spend your time, forcing you to fill out your real name, formulating a 6 character-one number password, detailing your age and gender or just linking to your Facebook account so they can post automated advertisements on your behalf. All in a bid to send your internet information to the highest bidder and cater banner advertisements to your new found interest in 1940's typography. 

Thankfully, there is a work around. 

Firstly, install 'TamperMonkey', this add-on will allow you to view websites your own way, adding or removing components of a webpage to improve its usability. In fact, this same plugin allows you to bypass websites that block 'Adblock' (e.g. Forbes, Hulu or Comedy Central). Click on the browser you're using below and you'll be sent to the official link to download the plugin.

Tutorial: How to Skip the "Pinterest login" process without an account

Next, with the addon installed, simply click on the black icon with the two circles to the right of your URL bar to reveal a menu (as shown above), where you'll click "Dashboard" and then "Utilities". Copy and paste the following "GreasyFork" URL and click "Import". Finally, simply click install.

Voilà! You're finished.
You Can Now Access Pinterest without an Account!

    1. Ignore that part then, just copy and paste the given url into your url bar. Greasemonkey will give you a popup offering to install the script.

    2. Too right. There are still many of us to do not want to socially network unless it's down the pub with mates and they should allow us to do that without making a sign-up for shit

  7. After installing (When I try again it says reinstall), when I go to "Installed Userscripts" it still says "No script is installed."

  16. Most now want a phone number as well. This is where I draw the line and just don't sign up no more for any of these sites no matter what they have to offer.

  17. Never heard of Tampermoney, but Greasemonkey is very popular, and the script works fine with it.
