Extension summary

LeetCode Difficulty Hider Chrome Extension: A Simplified Tool for Enhanced Learning The LeetCode Difficulty Hider is a Chrome extension designed with a specific, valuable purpose: it hides the difficulty labels (Easy, Medium, Hard) of problems on both the international and Chinese versions of LeetCode. This straightforward functionality offers several key benefits that enhance the learning and problem-solving experience on LeetCode.

Key Functionality: Sole Feature - Hiding Difficulty Levels: The extension's only function is to conceal the difficulty rating of each problem, thereby presenting them without any pre-assigned complexity level. Why Install the LeetCode Difficulty Hider? Encourages Unbiased Engagement with Problems: Without visible difficulty levels, users are more likely to approach problems based on their learning goals or interest, rather than being influenced by a label. This can lead to tackling a wider variety of problems.

Reduces Intimidation and Mental Blocks: Often, a 'Hard' label can intimidate, while an 'Easy' label might lead to complacency. Hiding these labels removes such mental blocks, encouraging users to focus on the problem itself.

Facilitates Deeper Learning: By engaging with problems without preconceived notions about their difficulty, users can deepen their understanding and problem-solving skills, focusing solely on the logic and concepts involved.

Simulates Real-World Scenarios: In real-world coding challenges, especially in interviews, problems aren't labeled by difficulty. Practicing in an environment that mimics this reality can better prepare users for such situations.

Amazing extension! Thanks a ton! As mentioned in a previous review, it would be great if there is an option to hide the difficulty tag in the questions panel. The extension works perfectly nonetheless!
