  Udemy only shows the “Last Updated” date, which can sometimes be misleading. A course created many years ago may still appear recent because of a minor update later.
  
  This extension helps make course freshness more transparent.
  
  What it does:
  
  * Shows the original publish date of each course
  * Shows the actual last updated date
  * Displays this information directly in the search results, so you don’t have to open every course individually
  * Adds a simple freshness indicator:
  
  🟢 Recently updated
  🟡 Moderately updated
  🔴 Outdated
  
  How it works:
  
  1. Install the extension
  2. Search for any course on Udemy
  3. Freshness information appears automatically on each course card
  4. As you scroll, the extension continues loading freshness data for newly visible courses
  
  Tip:
  A course’s last update date alone doesn’t always tell the full story. Comparing the original publish date with update consistency often gives a better idea of how actively maintained the course really is.

  An automated Udemy course date reviewer to filter out old tutorials. Instantly check real course freshness by comparing the true creation date and last updated date right from your search results page.
  
  While Udemy displays a “Last Updated” date on each course page, this metric can sometimes be insufficient to judge whether a course is outdated or not since they do not display the course creation date directly. This extension makes course creation date and course freshness completely transparent on the search results page itself  so you can dodge outdated courses from the search results itself.
  
  What it does:
  * Shows the original publish date of each course
  * Shows the actual last updated timestamp 
  * Displays this information directly in the search results, so you don’t have to waste time opening every course individually
  * Adds a simple course freshness indicator:
  
  🟢 Recently Updated Course
  🟡 Moderately Updated Course
  🔴 Outdated Course
  
  How it works:
  1. Install the extension in one click.
  2. Search for any course, framework, or language on Udemy.
  3. Freshness information appears automatically on each course card.
  4. As you scroll, the extension dynamically loads data for newly visible courses.

  Udemy only shows "Last Updated" on course pages, but that doesn't tell you the full story. A course published in 2018 with a tiny update in 2024 still looks fresh.
  
  This extension fixes that.
  
  WHAT IT DOES
  • Shows the exact PUBLISH DATE of every course 
  • Shows the real LAST UPDATED date of every course
  • No need to open each course, the date will be displayed on the SEARCH PAGE itself.
  • Color codes every course card with a freshness rating:
    🟢 UP TO DATE : updated within 4 months
    🟡 OKAYISH : updated within the last year
    🔴 TOO OLD : not updated for over a year
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  1. Install the extension
  2. Search for any course on Udemy
  3. Dates and freshness badges appear automatically on every course card
  4. Scroll down, processes courses as they come into view
  
  PRO TIPS
  • Always check the gap between publish date and last update.
  
  Made with ❤️. No More wasting time with outdated courses.
