What is Input Cursor Focus?

'Input Cursor Focus' is a unique Chrome extension, designed to automate one of the often overlooked aspects of website interaction - cursor input focus. Upon landing on a webpage, it automatically focuses your cursor into the first available text input. This translates to fewer manual click-through actions, saving time and making web surfing more efficient. It's notably useful on popular sites like Amazon where the search text input is a primary user action.

Works but what mobile users on hd screens need is the exact oppostie. For the screen to not wildly zoom way to much when selecting an input field or at the very least, return the page to the original zoom level when clicking off the field. This behavior has annoyed so many for the better part of 10 years. Ridiculous.

Works really well. I would only suggest one addition, however. It'd be nice if we could whitelist sites that it needs to be active on, and not EVERY site. Some sites I visit actually change the layout of the page, or pop up a dropdown "suggestion list" that covers the contents of the page when you enter the text field. I only wanted it on two sites, and it's damaging my experience on every other site. Still worth it for the two sites, so I'll keep it on.
