Hide upsells, newsletter signups and Open in App buttons. Better Times is a browser extension that gives New York Times' award-winning journalism a web experience crafted to respect the reader. Better Times blocks: - Autoplaying videos - Nags to download the app - "Open in the app" banners - Share buttons - Newsletter signup alerts - Comments - Privacy-invasive tracking - Modals asking for your sports interests - Family plan upsells every time you log in - The "We noticed multiple devices using this subscription" banner that makes you dig a code out of your email (God forbid you read the news on your phone and laptop) Better Times does what simple content blockers can't - carefully edit the NYT website to provide the best user experience. (You don't want to know how much work it was to block those autoplaying videos!) This extension does not skip the Times paywall. I support independent journalism, and you should too. This extension also does not block ads. Blocking ads is complicated! If you prefer not to see them, use a dedicated adblocker alongside Better Times.
