User reviews

I initially loved this extension and recommended it to educators around the region. Then I noticed that my search results were using Bing rather than Google. I traced it to this extension (I'll bet others wondered why they were now searching with Bing.) I do not trust an extension which adds hidden malware along with their extension. If there was an option to disable this "surprise", then I'd give it a higher rating. I will return to using Crafty Cursor. Not as configurable, but an extension I can trust.

It hijacks the Search and diverts it to BING. Garbage.

Works fine. Nice, simple, better than expected. Translucently circles your mouse of the colour and size you specify. Pity Chrome chooses to over-ride the mouse settings you make through your OS controls.
