Hacking has been one of the most crucial features of any contest. With its ability to completely change the outcomes of the rounds.
But the one thing the standings page of any CodeForces round lacks is the standings page for hackers. They contribute essential test cases to the problems, making the problems more robust.
I introduce to the community a new extension, CF TopHacker (Chrome WebStore Link), made by me to add this feature to the standings page. The "Hacks Standings" button integrates with the default buttons seamlessly.
This extension enables you to see the live hacks leaderboard during the open hacking phase and also after it ends! This makes it easier for everyone to see which problems have weak test cases in case there are too many hacks!
See the screenshots and demo video below:
