Extension summary

This is a little plugin that injects a css stylesheet to hide ratings on chess.com. The only page I intentionally skipped was the "Full Stats" page for each type of game.

I found that I got a lot of stress out of knowing my rating progression, and the ratings of my opponents. I constantly felt I should be doing better when my rating was below its peak, and I felt a lot of pressure to beat lower rated opponents. In addition to that I felt a lot of frustration when I didn't manage to get my rating back up or when I lost to said lower rated opponents. So I fixed it by hiding the ratings everywhere.

I may update this plugin now and then if I feel like it, but there's absolutely no guarantee of continued support.
