https://binternet.revvy.de/ https://github.com/Ahwxorg/binternet/ I found this. Seems to work well
Tq :)
I personally use searx, a metasearch engine which lets you chose among many sources and returns results from all the selected ones. If you go into the settings, pic the "engine" tab, you have tabs for each specific search mode, and under "image", Pinterest is along the options, alongside many others.
If you intend to make it your everyday search engine as I have, there's one tiny caveat you should know: Like the Fediverse, it's a service without a central server, where everyone can host an instance, the list of public instances is here. But since all of them are managed by individuals or small groups, they can fail or be overloaded, so you may have to switch to another one once in a while. Hosting your own instance is also an option, but I have yet to get around to learning that. Right now, the instance I use is search.be .
Looks like pinterest is not allowing the access to searx. I've used searx in past.
Oh right, that's a shame, I should've tested it first.
It's alright I will keep an eye on that method for future use.
Did you try Painterest? https://pain.thirtysix.pw/ it’s an alternative frontend for Pinterest
I tried but it gives internal server error.
I can't help with your other gripes, but the privacy I've can be solved with the binternet frontend.
Thank you!!, will be using this IF i specifically wanna search on pinterest.
Same. Its one that I can't bring myself to delete. Love my boards.
For now I have deactivated the account and will go for full deletion once I am completely "ready" lol.
I use duck duck go, it does the trick 99% of the time, especially if you use extensions to remove specified websites - like Pinterest - from the results.
I use duckduckgo as well, and I don't particularly hate having pinterest results in the search. But I definitely don't wanna login just to see the image in low resolution which won't even have the context of where it was taken from, nor the artist credit.
