Pinterest is the virtual pinboard we all visit often to have a look at the ideas and collections shared by users. Our interest in Pinterest lies mainly in getting a visual feed to tap into our own creativity or find a direction for our unguided search for something like a product, design idea or recipe.

However, you will agree that the incessant and seemingly unbreakable “login” prompts are a major buzz killer on the Pinterest web. It may not necessarily be about privacy concerns, but simply the impulse to resist the blatant compulsion that makes you not want to log in. But it doesn’t have to be that way! We’ve discovered 5 ways to browse the Pinterest web without registering or logging in.

Pinterest is like a Google Image search for collecting dynamic collections of images to fuel our inspiration. Even the search engine results often refer us to Pinterest images, suggesting a near-monopolistic privilege it enjoys as a platform for exploring images.

If you go directly to pinterest.com, you can’t scroll down any further to browse without being interrupted by the immobile Log-in prompt box (as seen in the screenshot below). Unfortunately, there’s no button to implement “close,” “skip,” or “remind me later” when this box is interfering with your browsing exploits.
