User reviews

Rainbow Cursor for Google Docs is a cute and simple extension that adds a colorful, noticeable cursor to Google Docs, appreciated particularly by users frustrated with standard cursors, especially on dark mode. Most users praise its aesthetic and ease of use, but many report limited color options, inability to customize cursor style, and occasional functionality issues, particularly in school environments or without restarting Chrome. The extension is exclusive to Google Docs and does not support other apps. Despite some glitches, users find it a fun addition to personalize documents.

Cons

Extension offers only limited color variation; mostly stuck to one flag color without options to change.

No support or settings to customize thickness, color, or style of the cursor flag.
Some users report it simply does not work or no visible change happens after installation.
Limited to Google Docs only; does not function on other Google or document platforms.
