New York Times expander

Script Summary: Jump to full-article view and expand NYTimes articles



This script makes New York Times articles easier to read. It does three things:

  • Jump to the single-page view of the article automatically
  • Remove the big annoying TimesPeople box at the top
  • Allow the article to fill the screen horizontally

Now you can spend more time reading and less time clicking and scrolling.

Note: I've updated this to deal better with the front page and section pages, that is, non-article pages. The previous version's poor behavior on those pages hadn't occurred to me, since I usually get to the Times from a link directly to the article.
