If Pinterest is not working on Chrome, you won’t be able to view your saved pages or even access the website.

However, this issue can be easily resolved, and today, we’ll show you the best ways to fix it.

Why is Pinterest not working in the browser?

In most cases, the issue is caused by third-party software that is installed on your PC. Certain extensions, as well as adblockers, can prevent Pinterest from working.

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

1. Remove Survey Junkie Pulse software

  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.

Try loading Pinterest from a different browser and see if it works. We recommend Opera One because it’s frequently updated, hence very stable and secure.

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.

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.
