Show YouTube Video Upload Date
upload dates next to every video
A browser extension (sometimes called a plug-in or add-on) is installed inside your web browser and you'll normally see its unique icon displayed in the top right of the browser window like in the screenshot above.
Extensions add new functionality to particular websites when you visit them. When you browse YouTube with the Show YouTube Video Upload Date extension installed, the extension finds text for relative dates beside videos and seamlessly replaces them with full dates.
- HATE that the new YouTube update hides the date the video was uploaded?
- Looking for a video drowned in hundreds of videos labeled "4 years ago"?
- Frustrated sorting a big playlist in chronological order and having to open every video to check the date?
- Watch breaking news and opinion videos and want to know the exact minutes and seconds the video went live?
- Looking to analyse other channels easier & faster?

"Been using the extension for a while and the extra $1 for the time on the date just makes it really useful as I use it for screen grabbing to collate data for marketing research"

"This extension is awesome - it works super quickly! I just got the new upgraded version, and I now get to see the time of the uploads as well - it's amazing and it's exactly what I needed! Thank you for this awesome tool! :)"
