Hello Codeforces!

As many of you noticed, recent API changes broke several extensions, including the popular cf-getrating. Since the original creator seems to be inactive (no response to PRs or emails), I have forked and fixed the extension so we can all keep using this functionality.

What is LeekCF-Rating (cf-getrating)

For those unfamiliar, this extension allows you to see the difficulty rating of a problem while keeping problem tags hidden.
Why??: Solve problems 100% on your own. Tags often act as spoilers (e.g., seeing "Dynamic Programming" tells you exactly how to approach the problem)

Check Images

Installation Links:
- Chrome Web Store
- Firefox Addons Store
- GitHub Repository on My Account (Open source for transparency)

If you get a warning from Chrome read this.

Quick Note regarding Chrome Security

I kept the core logic identical to the original but updated the API call methods, icons, and readme to ensure it complies with Store policies and functions with the new Codeforces API changes (So it doesn't mark it up as a copycat).
Feel free to leave suggestions, report issues, or submit a PR on GitHub. Cya on the next blog

Hi Codeforces team and MikeMirzayanov,

I know maintaining Codeforces is a huge amount of work, especially with the number of submissions and API requests every day, so thanks for all the effort.

I wanted to ask about a small issue with the API. I use it to hide problem tags while solving, so I can try problems completely on my own. Recently, without the API working properly, I can’t reveal the tags with View tags, and I also can’t see the problem rating unless I enable Show tags for unsolved problems on the Problemset page.

Also, could Codeforces maybe support this natively? Ideally, there would be an option to show only the problem rating by default, while keeping the tags hidden behind a button like View tags.

I think this would be useful for people who want to choose problems by rating but avoid spoilers from tags. Thanks again for everything you do for the platform.

Hello
