Caleb Morris (ID: 00000030a4d8c49c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/11/2023 It doesn't work. My cursor is still white. I downloaded this app because my cursor turns white in a google doc and it's super annoying. But the cursor is still white. The extension created no change whatsoever. Complete waste of time.
