Extension summary

This extension allows you to click on objects near the cursor, making browsing faster, more convenient and more efficient.

It is based on the amazing mouse cursor effect, which changes the size of the cursor activation area to select the nearest elements, allowing you to click on them without moving the mouse cursor inside them. So this amazing effect allows you to browse web pages faster, than using the usual cursor.

A bubble cursor is much more efficient than a point cursor because it allows you to dynamically select a target. Simply put, a bubble cursor searches and selects only one, much closest, element from other elements in a certain area. The modern concept of the bubble cursor is based on a research paper written by Tovi Grossman and Ravin Balakrishnan and showes that the bubble cursor’s performance can be modeled accurately by Fitts’ law.

The extension "Bubble Cursor - Original Vision" has reach features for convenient work in the browser. Performance and design of this extension also has been optimized and adapted for modern requirements of web pages. (Bubble Cursor - Original Vision)
