I tried @odony's TamperMonkey/Greasemonkey script on Chrome but couldn't get it to work. detachCallback() wasn't recognized. So instead of detaching any callbacks, I simply replaced the node.

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Github: always show absolute times
// @match        https://github.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    document.querySelectorAll("relative-time").forEach(function(el) {
        var parent = el.parentNode;
        var timestamp = el.title;
        var span = document.createElement("span");
        span.innerHTML = timestamp;
        parent.removeChild(el);
        parent.appendChild(span);
    });
})();

Sorry I haven't tested this with other browser, but since this is basic javascript, it should just work. :)
