In the words of the late John F. Kennedy: "We choose to do things not because they are useful, but because they are excuses to vibecode another Codeforces extension". People were confused when he said this because they didn't know what "Codeforces" meant. The Soviets interpreted it as a subtle threat about American capabilities in the yet uncharted field of cyberwarfare. But I digress.

There's no need to make 998244353 extensions to do things that you can do with existing options (or better yet, vanilla site functionality).

  • If you want dark mode, use dark reader. You also get dark mode on other websites.

  • If you want simple analytics about your profile, use CF Analytics.

  • If you want estimated rating changes, use carrot.

  • For anything else, it's probably already possible in the vanilla site.

Also to those using the random extensions, please dont unless you trust the dev or you have gone through the source code, they can be very easily trojanized (both browser and vscode extensions)

Maybe someone can write a blog to collect these extensions so one can publish his/her extension in the comments if they create one.

Having seen hundreds of blogs to publish someone's extensions....

Actually, some extensions are very annoying to use or just not working, there are also something that you need, but there are no extensions that have that

For example, I can't find an extension that shows there is an upcoming Div.3/4, I rarely go to the contests page to check. I also can't find an extension that shows your delta after contest, it is very annoying to go to friend standings every time to see your delta in a past contest

But it is very annoying to see newbies posting extensions
