Needle-Be-Gone is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the browsing experience by removing the New York Times' election 'needle' graphics from its presidential election coverage. This tool specifically targets the needle displayed on the homepage and the election-tracker main page, allowing users to focus on the quality journalism provided by the New York Times without the distraction of the needle visuals.

This free add-on is particularly effective during significant events, such as the 2020 presidential election, and aims to maintain functionality as long as the layout of the Times remains unchanged. However, users should be aware that any alterations to the New York Times' page structure could affect the extension's performance. The icon used for this extension is sourced from a Creative-Commons-licensed graphic.
