This original post was published way back in the year 2016, then it was rewritten and republished in the year 2020.
Again it was revised and republished in 2022 and 2024.
Back then if you do not have an account, you cannot view the pictures aka Pins properly.
After you have scrolled down a couple rows of images, the Pinterest white sign up box pops up in the middle of the screen, together with a translucent matte overlay covering over the whole page.
You can still scroll the page, but you can't view the images properly, as they have been blocked by the sign up box and also shielded by the translucent matte screen.
To overcome the blocking problem, the method then was a bit cumbersome and complicated.
I used the Firefox Developer Tools and Chrome DevTools to remove the translucent overlay that shielded the pictures.
Then in 2024, Pinterest took away the blurred overlay that blocks the pictures.
Hence presently you can view all the curated Pinterest pictures or Pins you want, without having to sign up an account or login to your account.
With numerous updates cluttering up the post, I decided to clean it up and rewrote and republished it.
