Pinterest Not Working on Chrome: How to Fix it [4 Ways]

If Pinterest is not working on Chrome, you won’t be able to view your saved pages or even access the website. Today, we’ll show you how to fix it.

In most cases, third-party apps like Survey Junkey cause this error. Certain extensions, as well as adblockers, can also prevent Pinterest from working. Here’s how to stop them:

What can I do if Pinterest doesn’t work in Chrome?

First, check Downdetector to make sure Pinterest servers aren’t down.

1. Remove interfering apps

1. Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app.
2. Go to Apps and choose Installed apps.
   
3. Locate Survey Junkie Pulse software on the list.
4. Click the three dots next to it and choose Uninstall.
   
5. Follow the instructions on the screen to remove it.

Sometimes, other apps on your PC can interfere with your browser and stop Pinterest from working. The most common culprit we know of is Survey Junkie Pulse, but others could cause it to.

If you have this app, make sure to remove it.

And if Pinterest stopped working on Chrome after you installed something on your computer, order the Installed apps by date (most recent), and remove the latest ones you added.

2. Disable other extensions

1. Launch the Chrome browser and click the extension icon.
2. Select Extensions Manager.
3. Disable other extensions by toggling off the blue icon beside them.

Users reported that Vimego – Simple Video Downloader, OrangeMonkey, and MyJDownloader Browser extensions are the most common causes, but other ones can also cause this problem.

3. Add Pinterest to the whitelist in adblocker

1. Open Pinterest in the browser.
2. Next, open your adblocker.
   
3. Disable it for Pinterest.
   

Alternatively, you can check if your adblocker is the issue by temporarily disabling it.

4. Try another browser

If the issue keeps occurring, consider using a better, more stable browser. For frequent Pinterest users, Opera One is a good choice.

It lets you integrate the Pinterest button within the browser so you can save any type of media without having to open new tabs.

Why am I blocked from Pinterest?

If you’re blocked from Pinterest, you most likely violated the terms of service. If that’s not the case, you should contact Pinterest support.
