I wish I could filter Pinterest and more importantly Quora from all search results forever. I consider those sites deceptive and malicious spam.

Google released a Chrome addon that filters sites, but this doesn't help users of other browsers and it hadn't been updated in over three years.

Google briefly had a feature (back in the ExpertSexChange days) where you could ban a domain from your search results. I miss that feature. Now Pinterest gets blocked at DNS via pi-hole. At least it is something.
I am using Firefox and use "SearchMage - Search Enhancer" add-on for that

I found it here a few months ago actually and am quite happy with it, It has a few features that include infinite scroll that you can turn off or on.

This works well for filtering search results:

For now I just manually add "-pinterest" to my query when I am looking for images.
