Cursor Sparkles - Chrome Extension for Animated Cursors

"Cursor Sparkles" is a Chrome extension that transforms your regular cursor into a trail of appealing sparkles. With constant updates to improve performance, it offers options to select animations, adjust the quantity of sparkles and toggle the sparkle effect on or off. It also provides two modes: Trailing mode, where sparkles leave trails, and the old Follow mode, where sparkles follow your cursor.

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.
