Comment (by aseerel4c26):

 Those about:config entries ([http://hackademix.net/2011/09/29/script-
 surrogates-quick-reference/ for NoScript]) work -  at least for all* pages
 (not for JavaScript navigation):
 * noscript.surrogate.osmorg.sources: !@www.openstreetmap.org/
 * noscript.surrogate.osmorg.replacement:

 {{{
 if (document.location.href.split('#')[0].split('/').length > 4) {
   $("div#sidebar_content div.details abbr").each(function() {
   $( this ).replaceWith("(" + $( this ).attr("title") + " [" + $( this
 ).html() + "])");
   });
 }
 }}}

 This expands the "abbr" tag (containing the relative timestamps). To
 remove the imprecise time interpretation completely just (but keeping the
 JS syntax correct) the the […] part. E.g.


 {{{
 if (document.location.href.split('#')[0].split('/').length > 4) {
   $("div#sidebar_content div.details abbr").each(function() {
   $( this ).replaceWith("(" + $( this ).attr("title") + ")");
   });
 }
 }}}

 or even (unordered list for the timestamps (mostly visible in case of
 changesets):

 {{{
 if (document.location.href.split('#')[0].split('/').length > 4) {
   $("div#sidebar_content div.details abbr").each(function() {
   $( this ).replaceWith("<ul><li>" + $( this
 ).attr("title").replace("\n","</li>\n<li>") + "</li></ul>");
   });
 }
 }}}

 \* except for [http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/aseerel4c26/history user
 changeset pages] which contain no requested content (loaded via JavaScript
 afterwards, only).
