CF Tracker
By The_stD7, history, 3 years ago, In English

Hi! Codeforces community

I have created a chrome extension that can tell you the amount of time you have spent on a problem from the moment you open it up for the first time. The extension keeps track of the active window and thus the time increases only for that particular window. It uses chrome local storage to store the data. In this way, it picks up from where it left off. The extension overwrites the data every 10 seconds.

I believe that it could help newbies, pupils and maybe higher rated people to increase their speed. Any suggestions for improvements or any bugs found are appreciated, and I would love it if you guys try this out.

You can download it from — https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cf-tracker/hadiffebpglmdnknojeoelfgmjleiecc?utm_source=googleads&utm_medium=adgroup5&utm_campaign=adgroup5&utm_id=adgroup5&gclid=Cj0KCQiAjJOQBhCkARIsAEKMtO3OFxRkL3xVFOqO-5UAEjSYwNj73NSmgRtg-OfI0p4m1CTEfRho1hUaAkuPEALw_wcB

And lastly, I am sorry for any grammatical errors I made, English is not my native language.

    I would work on it, however, I cannot do much about what you mentioned in the third point. If I update the time every second, my extension may interfere with other extensions installed on chrome since chrome has a limit to how much reading and writing an extension can do in one minute.

    I will work on the other two mentioned.

Another CF Tracker already exists, I'd suggest renaming this one. Also, a firefox addon of this would be great, which you can publish for free.

I have this extension called taper monkey to use codeforces dark mode and with the extension enabled, I can barely see the timer. Hopefully you'll be able to fix this. Thanks!
