## Description

GitHub Enhancer (formerly GitHub Date Enhancer)
Shows exact creation and commit dates alongside relative times on GitHub.
Description:
GitHub Date Enhancer improves your GitHub experience by displaying the full, absolute date (e.g., “Apr 27, 2024”) next to the standard relative time (e.g., “3 days ago”) on issues, pull requests, commits, and other places where GitHub uses <relative-time>. This makes it easier to quickly see the exact date of activity without hovering or guessing.
Dates are shown in a clean, readable format.
Works automatically on all GitHub pages.
No configuration required.
All processing is done locally—no data is sent anywhere.
How it works:
The extension scans GitHub pages for relative time elements and adds the corresponding absolute date next to them. It updates automatically as you navigate or as new content loads.
Permissions:
Requires access to <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/18292d9c1899dd2b453ea9e3c1375587569f07a1d91694af6d865f8eab086cdb/http%3A//github.com" rel="nofollow">github.com</a> pages to display the enhanced dates.
