CF-Predictor is designed to enhance the user experience on Codeforces by providing additional features and functionality. It allows users the check their rating like how much rating of a user will increase or decrease after the contest is over.

2. CF Analytics

The ‘Tags Solved’ graph is a doughnut chart displaying tags solved across any problem and also listing a count for each tag.

CF Analytics allows the user to track his or her problem rating histogram, so the user can check the rating of problems he or she has solved. You can see the picture below; it will show that I have solved most of the 800 rating problems. This is a cool extension, by the way.
