User reviews

Multiple users report that although the extension aims to change the cursor style to fun icons, it suffers from severe usability issues. The 32x32 pixel size limit and poor support for user-uploaded images frustrate many. Worse, once a custom cursor is set, reverting back is problematic, even after removal. Many find it nonfunctional or buggy, leading to strong negative sentiments and recommendations to avoid it. However, a minority appreciate its cute or colorful cursor options when it works.

Pros

The extension can change the cursor to different styles (e.g., starwars mouse, watermelon cursor).
Some users found it to be cute or fun with colorful pictures.
It can function under certain conditions as a cursor modification tool.

Cons

The extension only allows cursor images that are 32x32 pixels in size, limiting customization options.
Users cannot upload their own images effectively; most PNGs, JPGs, GIFs are not accepted.
Once the cursor is changed, it is difficult or impossible for users to revert to the default cursor even after uninstalling the extension.
The extension often does not work as intended; clicking the icon sometimes yields no response or only shows a prompt to enter a URL.
Many users describe the extension as a scam or very poor quality and recommend avoiding it.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Change My Cursor does not require any sensitive permissions.
