for some reason my cursor always disappears in google docs making it hard to see where to type and all that but this is a life saver lol
Doesn't work in presentation mode. Doesn't save chosen color.
Works nicely in regular Chrome windows. A nice addition would be for it to work for Google presentations. Unfortunately when in Slide Show mode this does not work.
