Does exactly what it says. The only issue I've encountered is that sometimes in the search results page it doesn't work for a few of the results (with no clear pattern). I am using several other youtube related extensions though, so that may be the reason.

I'd prefer if there was an option to just show the date, since I don't really need to know the exact time, but this is still a huge improvement over the usual vague timestamps.

UPDATE - I used a USA Nord VPN HTTPS proxy and it's now working again. It looks like my ISP/IP was the issue.

A problem though is that on playlists, if you move a video's position, the times revert back to "5 years ago" etc., and you have to refresh the page to get the exact dates and times to show back up again.

Good, but it doesn't work on mobile page. So I have to switch to the desktop page. Can you support mobile pages as well?

I think I wrote it a little confusingly, so explain further. It works on 'mobile', but not on 'mobile pages'. Like m.youtube.com. Thank you.

Works well mostly, some timestamps don't match the actual publication date though.

EDIT: So sorry, didn't see your reply. I don't have a github account unfortunately, but the issue occurs whenever I'm viewing a complete list of a channel's videos and I switch to sorting by oldest. The videos show the timestamps of the corresponding videos if you sorted by newest. Seems like the data doesn't get refreshed and the extension just keeps whatever it had loaded for those video slots. Hope this is understandable enough.

Works perfectly - it was so frustrating not knowing when a video was made or seeing a "1 year ago" when the video was actually made 2 years ago. As a wishlist, I would love to choose the format that the date is shown - e.g. "03 November 2023" vs "11/03/2023". So far this is compatible with Enhancer for YouTube, YouTube Shorts Block, SponsorBlock, and Return YouTube Dislike, which is awesome.

Doesn't work with playlists

Works instantly & flawlessly. I just wish there was an option to toggle between showing the upload date in US time format (mm/dd/yy) and (dd/mm/yy) format. I'm very hopeful to see that the add-on was updated as recent as Oct 2024, so it's still actively being maintained. Maybe there's a chance the developer can see this and make it happen.

I have control panel for YT, return dislike and quality settings. Works fine. Have some confidence.

Works flawlessly on multiple versions of firefox so far as of 07.31.2024. Love it!

works great. would love an option to make both the exact timestamp and general upload period (default) appear

Cool! Would be nice to be able to override locale/format

Currently, the exact release date doesn't show on (except few videos) channel's search result page.

Otherwise this extension worked great on YouTube homepage.

Thanks!
