GitHub Timestamp Privacy

GitHub Privacy redacts commit and comment creation dates on GitHub. You can choose the level of redaction.

GitHub Timestamp Privacy is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your data privacy on GitHub by redacting commit and comment creation dates. Recognizing that not all timestamp details are necessary or comfortable to share, this tool lets you customize the granularity of date display, from full timestamps down to just months or even years.

With easy-to-use settings, users can decide whether to obscure seconds, minutes, hours, or even entire months on GitHub commits and issues, ensuring more control over your professional footprint and information sharing. Protect your privacy and tailor your data visibility effectively while navigating GitHub's interface.

This has nothing to do with Privacy, the information has already been shared with github. This makes no sense to install.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

GitHub Timestamp Privacy requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.
