Cursor Sparkles - Chrome Extension for Animated Cursors

"Cursor Sparkles" is a Chrome extension that transforms your regular cursor into a trail of appealing sparkles.

Does what it says, but when scrolling with the mousewheel the animation doesn't scroll with the cursor. Sometimes the pop-up menu for the options stays blank. I also wish you could modify the speed of the sparkles as well as the click effect.
