Extension summary

UPDATE 1.0.1:

  • Websites using Monaco cursor are supported (ie. Leetcode)

If needed outside of Google Docs and on a Windows machine, it is recommended to use the default "Change cursor blink rate" feature in Windows and adjust the value to None. This will not work on all text boxes on all webpages in Chrome but this extension will be revisited in the future to address this. Additional information can be found at the link below:

It's very useful for google doc. Would you be able to upgrade this such that it works on other chrome pages? For example, confluence notebook, or even just this dialog box where I'm typing this review!
