GitHub Absolute Dates Plugin Extension

This Chrome extension replaces relative time expressions on GitHub with absolute dates, making it easier to understand when events occurred without hovering over timestamps.
For example this plugin will convert relative time expressions (e.g., \"2 days ago\") to absolute dates (e.g., \"Jun 15, 2023\")
