Extension summary

This extension allows you to display the publication date of the page you're viewing. It adds the value of one of the following meta tags below the H1 (or page title):

a) <meta property="og:article:published_time" content="2020-03-09"> b) <meta name="date" content="2020-03-09"> c) <meta property="og:updated_time" content="2015-04-07T13:19:06-04:00" /> d) If no value is found in the previously defined fields, it checks for structured data in JSON, for example:

<script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "http://schema.org", "@type": "NewsArticle", "datePublished":"2020-03-20T20:30:54+00:00" } </script>

e) itemprop=datePublished

Often, it's crucial to know when the content you're reading was published, but there's no visible date. To save you from having to inspect the source code in search of the date in any of these meta tags, this extension makes it visible with just one click.
