When was this website published? Chrome Extension Discover Dates

'When was this website published?' is a Chrome extension that provides the creation date of the current webpage you are browsing. Ideal for those moments when you're reading an article with no clear publication date, it uses the Wayback Machine to fetch this information. Accuracy and availability may sometimes be less due to the broad range of webpages being crawled by Wayback Machine.

User reviews

Exactly what i was looking for. Search results are filled with older non relevant articles. Until they find a cure for it this extension will be helpful. But could you add "xx months old" or something along with the actual date. Knowing the exact age would be more striking. Also if there could be an option for floating windows that automatically tells the age of a website without always need to clicking on the extension.
