News Date is a free Chrome extension developed by ettoolong that allows users to easily view the publish date of news articles on various websites. This handy tool displays the date on the top right corner of the website, providing users with important information about the timeliness of the news they are reading.

With News Date, the publish date is conveniently shown using different ribbon colors, indicating the recency of the news article. A green ribbon signifies news that was published within the last 3 days, while a yellow ribbon indicates news within the past week. An orange ribbon represents news within the last 30 days, and a red ribbon signifies news that is over 30 days old.

One of the great features of this extension is the ability to customize the list of websites where the publish date should be displayed. Users can easily set their preferences in the extension options, allowing them to block or allow specific websites.

It's important to note that although the extension has been tested on popular news websites such as BBC and CNN, it does not promise to support every news website. Additionally, due to time zone issues, there may be a one-day error in the displayed date at times.

Overall, News Date is a useful tool for those who want to quickly assess the recency of news articles they come across on the web. It provides a simple and straightforward way to view the publish date, helping users make informed decisions about the relevance and timeliness of the news they consume.
