Absolute Time Everywhere

About

Absolute Time Everywhere replaces vague timestamps like "2h ago" or "yesterday" with an exact date & time directly on the page — so you stop guessing and start knowing.

Perfect for anyone who works across tabs, teams, and timezones: triage, planning, reviews, incident timelines, collaboration, and research.

WHAT YOU GET

- Exact timestamps in-page: turns relative time into a clear, absolute date & time in your local timezone.
- Two modes:
  Safe (recommended): converts only when a website provides a machine-readable timestamp (highest accuracy).
  Aggressive (optional): also tries to interpret plain text like "3h ago" or "yesterday" when needed (best-effort).
- Global ON/OFF: Green = running everywhere. Red = off everywhere.
- Disable a specific site in one click: "Disable this site" adds the current domain to your Disabled Sites list.
- Disabled Sites management: view, search, and re-enable disabled domains anytime.

HOW IT WORKS (SIMPLE + ROBUST)
Many websites display relative time, but still embed an underlying timestamp (for example via datetime, data-* timestamp attributes, or accessible labels).
ATE reads those machine-readable values (Safe mode), formats them cleanly, and replaces the visible relative text.

WHEN IT MAY NOT WORK (AND WHY)
Some pages cannot be modified reliably because:

- The site provides only plain relative text and no real timestamp behind it.
- The timestamp is drawn inside a canvas or baked into an image.
- Content is rendered inside closed Shadow DOM (not accessible to content scripts).
- Some embedded cross-origin iframes restrict access.
- Aggressive mode is a best-effort estimate and can be off if a page is stale or doesn’t update live.

PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN

- No backend
- No tracking
- No accounts
- No analytics
  Everything runs locally in your browser.

PERMISSIONS

- Storage: saves your preferences (mode, formatting, disabled sites).
- All sites access: required to convert timestamps on pages you visit.

TIPS

- If you want maximum accuracy, keep Safe mode on.
- Use Aggressive mode only when a site shows relative timestamps without a readable underlying date.
