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:

This extension is open source, free forever and open to contributions by the community. Any feedback for this extension is appreciated. I am also open to new ideas/features. Do write how you feel about this extension in the discussion below! Thank You!
It would be cool to hear what top hackers like djm03178 and qmk have to say about this extension.
UPD 1: Here are the open issues on the github repository, feel free to generate a pull request to fix these! These issues were mentioned by the users in the discussion below.

I'll try to use it in the next open hack round, although I'm not really going to compete with hacks.
Thanks!
You will be on the top regardless.
This will be very helpful !!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like I have to become a hacker now ;)
BTW great initiative!!
Thanks Naman!
Will it provide real time Hack standings?
Yes
How to download it for Firefox browser, if through github then please if you can provide some reference tutorial to download it.
Since the extension is in its initial release phase, it is compatible only with Chromium-based browsers. Support for Firefox is a plan for the future.
Ok then tell me the process for chrome browser.

Great work Rahul bhai!! Really nice idea.
Found a bug!
When using russian version of Codeforces it just shows the header with problems, but no results for hacks. A fix for this would be highly appreciated. Great extension otherwise!
Thanks for reporting it. I will fix it.
Hi, thanks for the nice extension!
I guess you could introduce a top-level cache to reduce server load on heavy contests like 1985
It is also nice to be able to quickly switch between standing tabs without having to wait for
Fetching data, please wait -Thanks, I will try to introduce cache soon!
