Hi everyone! I know of two problem solving modes on Codeforces

  1. Write a contest online or in a virtual competition mode. Then you can't open the solutions of other participants, look through the tests, watch the problem tags and all sorts of information that can help you figure out the task.

  2. Solve problems from the archive, in free manner. This can be used for training, it is convenient to sort tasks by specific topics or rating.

So, when solving the problem in the second way, I ran into the problem that I see its tags. It gives me an advantage that I don't want to have. A kind of hint. To solve this problem, I can launch a virtual participation in the contest where the task was. However, then I will not be able to get additional information about the task before the end of the virtual. What if I want to think for an hour and then look at the tags, for example.

The "hide tags" button, which I did not find (maybe it already exists), would help me here. I think it would be a useful feature.
