Hide LeetCode Difficulty Extension

This Chrome extension will hide the difficulty of a LeetCode problem when browsing for problems or on the problem page. When solving algorithm challenges, sometimes knowing how difficult a problem is by its label can impact performance. Knowing a problem is \"Easy\" and then struggling to solve it can reduce confidence; knowing a problem is \"Hard\" may lead to prematurely giving up. Hiding the difficulty makes problem solving similar to live interviews where candidates are given problems completely blind to how difficult a problem is rated.

Users can obfuscate Easy/Medium problems, Medium/Hard problems, or choose to hide all difficulties. Users can also choose to reveal the difficulty of a problem once it is solved and hide problems' acceptance rates.

With this extension, you can solve problems blindly and practice your algorithm skills without mental blockers!

LeetCode's client is built with React. This extension uses DOM APIs on React's Virtual DOM which may mean the extension will not work perfectly at times. If the class names on the website change, that will also cause problems. Please raise any issues you encounter on GitHub.

Shivam Verma (ID: 0000003a35de9085) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/19/2022 Hi, Your extension doesnt work completely. Like it hides the difficulty level but after solving the problem the difficulty levels remains hidden even after refreshing the page. (I have already selected the option for displaying the difficulty after solving the problem.) further suggestions: please add the timer functionality exactly like : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/leetcode-timer/gfkgelnlcnomnahkfmhemgpahgmibofd?hl=en
