[Feature] Berserk rate for players in tournament

Key idea: add something like "berserk rate" near player names in tournament.

If two players play in tournament with similar rating if one presses berserk, then his opponent takes huge advantage. Safe berserks are possible only between players with big ratings gap.

But if I know that opponent likes to berserk or claims (in profile maybe) that he "always berserks in return" than I will do it more often.

Something like this: imgur.com/a/xc4LBKb

Two questions:
1. Is it possible to add this to Lichess?
2. If no, if some browser extension will provide this information, is it acceptable? It is not cheating, of course.
frankly i don't like this bro, because am the hunter of berserkers, if you don't believe me look at my blitz stat i only Berserked in less than 10 games & all are by accident lol.
This is some approach to solve this "prisoner's dilemma": if I know that this opponent frequently uses berserk in general, I can just berserk against him without games with him before.

Another way to solve this (also possible): if somebody writes in profile that he "always berserk in return" and some tool can check this by analyzing games for example, than berserk is not a dilemma anymore, it's win-win. Because both of us get extra point, both of us will go berserk.
in blitz there may be enough time to check their berserk rate yourself if you have a fast enough device.

Btw, that blind trust you describe can still always be broken if your opponent feels like it, cuz you won them too often, they're tilting too much etc
