Cleans and simplifies the NYT puzzle pages
Welcome to Crossclean!
This extension removes a lot of the cruft on the New York Times online puzzle pages, and gives new tools to navigate and enjoy them!
I am a big fan of the NYT crossword, but I found that over time they added a lot of material that was distracting or unpleasant to me, which made it harder to use. Additionally, there were options I wanted which they didn't provide, so I made this extension to help.
Features:
- Optionally remove the imposing advertisement areas and other features from the page, such as:
Wordplay section
The sitemap footer
Scrolling alternate puzzles carousel
- Adds the ability to show/hide the across or down clues, for those that want an additional challenge
- Adds a keyboard shortcut (CMD+0) for the pencil tool, for easy switching
I hope you enjoy this extension, please get in touch with any requests for features or improvements!

- Ads still show, so the experience doesn't look very clean. I could live with that, but the Cmd+0 keyboard shortcut doesn't work for toggling the pencil. I've tried restarting Chrome, refreshing the tab, and trying the crossword in a new tab. Cmd+0 also conflicts with the shortcut to zoom out, which is perhaps why it's broken.
