CF FetchCodes: Learn from Friends' Solutions

Stuck on a CodeForces problem? Unlock the collective wisdom of your circle!

CF FetchCodes is a powerful browser extension designed to supercharge your Competitive Programming journey. It seamlessly integrates into the CodeForces problem page, allowing you to instantly view accepted solutions from your friends without ever leaving the tab.

Whether you are looking for a different approach, an optimization hack, or just inspiration, CF FetchCodes brings your friends' code directly to you.

🚀 New in this Update (v25.12.7):
- Smart Session Management: No more confusing "Failed to load" errors! The extension now detects if your CodeForces session has expired and provides a direct "Login & Retry" button inside the list.
- One-Click Retry: Fetch failed? You can now retry fetching a specific code instantly without refreshing the entire page.
- Enhanced Error Feedback: Clearly distinguishes between Hidden/Private codes (which can't be viewed) and Auth Errors (which just need a quick login).

✨ Key Features:
- 👀 Instant Code Access: See a list of all friends who have accepted the current problem.
- ⚡ Lazy Loading: To save bandwidth and speed up the page, code is only downloaded when you click a specific friend.
- 🛡️ Robust Auth Handling: Seamlessly handles background session timeouts, ensuring you can continue browsing friends' codes even if your login cookie expires.
- 🎨 Native Syntax Highlighting: Read code comfortably with coloring that matches the CodeForces environment (Supports C++17/20, Python 3, Java, and more).
- 🔗 Quick Navigation: Includes direct links to the original submission and your friend's profile.
- 📊 Progress Status: A real-time progress bar shows you the status of checking your friends' submissions.
- Safety-First Architecture: Uses "Human-Like" delays and randomized jitter to strictly adhere to CodeForces API limits and keep your account safe.

🛠️ How to use:
1. Install CF FetchCodes.
2. Navigate to any CodeForces problem page.
3. Look for the "→ Accepted Codes of Friends" box in the right sidebar.
4. Click "Show Codes".
5. Click on any friend's name in the list to expand and study their solution!

⚠️ Important Notes:
- Contest Integrity: To maintain fair play, this extension does not work during live contests. It is designed for practice and upsolving.
- Privacy: You can only view submissions that are public. Private or gym submissions are restricted by CodeForces API rules.
