New York Times Byline Restorer

The New York Times removed bylines from its homepage in August 2018. This browser extension adds them back.

It can also optionally remove the “x min read” lines added to the homepage in September 2022.

It’s no longer possible to easily create and distribute Safari extensions, but I’ve made the code available as a userscript that can be used with the Tampermonkey extension:

1. Install Tampermonkey.
2. Click the Tampermonkey toolbar button and select Dashboard.
3. Open the Utilities tab.
4. In the URL field, paste https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dstillman/nyt-byline-restorer/master/userscript.js and click Import.
