Fix Youtube Date Bug

Description:

Have you ever opened up some Youtube video and the publication date does not appears to you?

Depending of the resolution of your screen and the browser, that can happen and it's a bug!

This simple extension can fix that for you, how about trying it out?

It's easy to install and lightweight (4kb).


Download and Installing:

It's a simple Chrome Extension, published in Google's official Chrome Web Store. The installing process is exactly the same for any Chrome Extension, you just need to download and it will probably be installed automatically in a few seconds.

More information about the bug and how this Extension works:

There is a Youtube bug going on which is responsible for making the date of youtube videos does not show up as it was intended to do.

Depending on browser and monitor resolution, the publication date is not going to show up.

Basically, everyone can solve that bug without a extension, all you need to do is to zoom out the page to 80% or 70% in your browser [CTRL + Mouse Wheel UP].

TeamYoutube pronunciated themselves by saying that they already fixed it on 9/26/19 (https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/13826560?hl=en), but that story is not true.

Here's an screenshot I took on 10/29/19:

When the browser is zoomed out to 80%, then the date appears:

A lot of people is relating the same problem in every part of the internet [FOR EXAMPLE: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/d25pl1/bug_youtube_removed_upload_date/].

The easiest way to solve this headache is to change the publication date position in the page layout whenever any Youtube video page is loaded:

Zoomed out, same effect:

That's what this extesion does.
