Hide LeetCode Difficulty

Hide the difficulty of problems on LeetCode
What is Hide LeetCode Difficulty?
Hide LeetCode Difficulty is an innovative Chrome extension designed to optimize your problem-solving experience on LeetCode. It allows users to obfuscate problem difficulties, thus, making it akin to live interview scenarios. Other features include an option to reveal problem difficulty post-solving and the ability to hide acceptance rates. The intent behind this extension is to allow users to focus on the problem at hand and hone their skills without any mental roadblocks. Be aware, due to React's Virtual DOM, there may be occasional glitches.

Extension summary

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.
