Gmail Show Time Extension

Gmail shows the date of an email in the last column of your email overview. Depending on how old the email is, the display format changes.

In all cases, I wanted to see the time of the emails. This extension does exactly that.

The latest major version 3 now supports custom date/time formatting options.

Bryan MAYNARD (ID: 000000a6923e42fc) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/02/2023 Not worth anything. All it does is create a ton of new tab popups begging for donations. Go figure.

icon

Bret Van Ausdall (ID: 000000d226ce4a7f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/14/2022 It works! Adds times in so you find an hour/min of an email in a lengthy email chain to your gmail webpages.

icon

Tim Blumentritt (ID: 000000bd65c5e7e1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/20/2022 Really appreciate this extension. It was startling to encounter the search engine issue, but I found the developer very responsive to sorting it out and now everything is back to working well as it had before.

icon

Andrew Gregg (ID: 000000ddf9f02346) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/20/2022 This extension was great until it updated to require new permissions completely unrelated to its function. It now alters the search engine.

Angela DeFranco (ID: 0000002b419eb9ec) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/20/2022 I'm having issues ...Chrome is showing me the 'Error' indicator in the top right hand side of my browser. When I click on it I get a message that says 'Google Show Time is disabled', and then gives me options to either 'Accept Permissions' or 'Remove'. In the app management area I see the app is not disabled at all, and my email shows the correct date format. I wanted to clear the error, so I just clicked 'Accept permissions', but that did nothing. If I click 'Remove' it claims it will remove the app all together. I just want to use the original app that I have been using. If I cannot get this 'Error' message to clear, or have other issues (like what many have recently reported) I may need to uninstall this app, but it will be a shame if I have to do that.
