uninstalled and yet I still have the blinking text cursor and can't get rid of it
by Leeroy Jenkins, 2024-05-22

it worked for me after some playing around, however i get a weird issue where it automatically adds cursor: text; CSS to all my icons, buttons and links. Overriding the usual cursor: pointer; This is happening whenever the extension is activated, even if its not spell checking the website. I have to keep it turned off and remember to turn it on when i need it
