the site disgusts me because it pollutes google image searches so thoroughly and combined with the mentioned required registration just makes it poison overall.

when I have to filter a site to get results I can use there is a problem and there needs to be an easy method to permanent filter such sites.

I wish I could filter Pinterest and more importantly Quora from all search results forever. I consider those sites deceptive and malicious spam.

Google released a Chrome addon that filters sites, but this doesn't help users of other browsers and it hadn't been updated in over three years.

Google briefly had a feature (back in the ExpertSexChange days) where you could ban a domain from your search results. I miss that feature. Now Pinterest gets blocked at DNS via pi-hole. At least it is something.

This works well for filtering search results:

I am using Firefox and use "SearchMage - Search Enhancer" add-on for that

I found it here a few months ago actually and am quite happy with it, It has a few features that include infinite scroll that you can turn off or on.

For now I just manually add "-pinterest" to my query when I am looking for images.

I don't even click on google image search results that point to pinterest. They can find another sucker to register on their site.
