Igor D (ID: 000000edb3c06a8a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/20/2022 This extension is useless. There is a focus mode at chess.com https://support.chess.com/article/859-what-is-focus-mode-how-do-i-turn-it-on , so you can easily hide the ELO. Most likely this extension is not authorized by chess.com, but can collect your data.

Gabriel Antonio (ID: 000000d0e762d364) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/11/2021 very useful. my only suggestion would be to also hide how many points i will gain or lose depending on the result of the match, because you can figure out if the other guy is higher or lower rated than me by this info. for instace, i just played a guy who if i won i would gain +11, and if i lost -5. so i knew he was higher rated than me. but other than that, i really liked it! thanks!!
