UPDATE 1.0.1:

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!

Thank you so much for addressing this issue which may be ignored by many but has been truly annoying for me... this really matters and really helps!

This has absolutely changed my life. Gone are the days of double clicking after I stop actively typing in docs, or typing as fast as possible to avoid the blink. I really was about to go insane. It doesn't work on every single application (including writing this review right now) but it works flawlessly in docs which is a lifesaver!
