  description

  YouTube often shows relative publish times such as “2 years ago” or “3 months ago”. YouTube Upload Time shows the exact upload date directly on YouTube, so you can quickly understand when a video was really published.
  
  Key features:
  
  Show exact upload dates on YouTube video pages
  Show upload dates under supported videos in search results and home feeds
  Format dates as ISO 8601, local time, YYYY-MM-DD, full date/time, or Unix timestamp
  Convert upload times across common time zones
  Copy the displayed upload time in one click
  Works without account login
  Core features are free
  Privacy:
  
  YouTube Upload Time runs locally in your browser. The first public version does not use a developer backend, does not send diagnostic reports, does not collect browsing history, and does not read your Chrome or Google account identity.
  
  YouTube Upload Time is an independent browser extension and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google.

  YouTube Upload Time helps you see when a YouTube video was uploaded without opening extra tools or manually checking page data.
  
  It adds upload time information directly on YouTube pages, including video watch pages, homepage video cards, search results, and supported Shorts cards.
  
  Features:
  - Show exact YouTube video upload time
  - Works on YouTube watch pages
  - Adds upload time to supported homepage and search result cards
  - Supports YouTube Shorts cards
  - Shows a loading state while upload time is being fetched
  - Choose display format: ISO 8601, local time, YYYY-MM-DD, exact time, or Unix timestamp
  - Choose timezone display
  - Copy upload time from the popup
  - Lightweight and focused only on YouTube upload time
  
  Privacy:
  - Settings are stored locally/synced through Chrome storage.
  - The extension only runs on youtube.com because it needs to read YouTube page data and add upload time labels to YouTube pages.
