Umm.. wouldn&#x27;t a Pinterest user actually <i>want</i> this? It seems to me that it be a useful tool for the users (who chose to install the Pinterest plugin)

Great article - those Chrome plugins with their (to the normal users) vague permissions are borderline evil. I nearly snorted coffee onto my keyboard when reading some of their potential counter responses; made my morning.

I think pinterest is the most useless thing on the internet and don&#x27;t really know why even people use it at all especially people that don&#x27;t sign in, you can&#x27;t even scroll half the page before it completely puts a layer and forces user to signin&#x2F;create account.

Looks like someone at Pinterest has updated the code[0] to exclude Readability.com<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;assets.pinterest.com&#x2F;ext&#x2F;cr_139.js" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;assets.pinterest.com&#x2F;ext&#x2F;cr_139.js</a>
