Top 7 LeetCode extensions

We all know that LeetCode is so useful for problem-solving or preparing for interviews, but you can do a few tweaks to make it more fun and useful while solving problems. Some of these extensions will help you increase your productivity, and some of them will help you to have good open-source contributions. So in this blog, I'll be talking about six useful leetcode extensions for browsers, and one more we can use with VS Code. Enjoy :)


1. LeetCode Video Solutions

Through this extension, you will enjoy:

  • Watching free helpful LeetCode video solutions on the problem page itself, the solutions are in different programming languages and cover different solving techniques and algorithms
  • Not being distracted by watching cat videos on YouTube when you should be solving a LeetCode problem!
  • Seeing the solution videos' duration, upload date, views, channel, and other information.
