Summary

Analyze keywords

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".

A bit inconsistent. There are a few pages it doesn't seem to work on (e.g. some Google Drive views) but by and large it works.

Én nem tudom ezek mire gondoltak de hiába álítom be 0, 0,0 vagy 0,1 seconds-ra semmi nem változik... Akkor meg mindek van? A világpénze Google-t se értem miért nem lehet beállítani Chrome-ban a XXI. században, hogy tünjön el a kurzor gépelés közben? Annyi mindent fejlesztenek folyton ezt miért nem? Érhetetlen.
