Extension summary
Automatically hides the Cursor on webpages after a configurable amount of seconds. Hides the cursor on all pages at the same time.
Also comes with a keyboard shortcut to hide the cursor: Ctrl+Shift+H/Cmd+Shift+H
idk why but the cursor annoys me when I'm reading a blogpost or something and pressing any button to hide it is just way too much of a hassle for me. See also https://xkcd.com/1319/, except replace "time" with "not fun".
