Will extensions slow down my browser?

Our extensions are lightweight and optimized for performance. They use minimal resources and should not noticeably impact everyday browsing. If you notice slowdowns, try disabling other extensions temporarily to check for conflicts.

Most Cusmize extensions are built for desktop browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Mobile browsers offer limited extension support, so features may not be available on phones or tablets.

How do I update an extension?

Extensions update automatically through the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. Your browser handles updates in the background. You can also open your browser extension manager and check for updates manually.

Can I use multiple Cusmize extensions at the same time?

Yes. You can run several Cusmize extensions together-for example, Customize Scrollbar with Cursor Trail. If two extensions modify the same page element, adjust settings or disable one extension to avoid visual conflicts.

Do Cusmize extensions work on every website?

Our extensions work on most websites you visit. Some sites use strict custom CSS or content security rules that can limit visual customizations. If a style does not apply on a specific page, try refreshing or check the product FAQ for that extension.

Which browsers are supported?

Cusmize extensions support Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers. Firefox support varies by product-check the individual product page for store links and compatibility notes.

Where can I find help for a specific extension?

Each major product has its own FAQ and guides-Customize Scrollbar, Cursor Trail, and PokeTube Theme include dedicated FAQ pages with installation and troubleshooting steps. You can also visit our Support page or contact us directly.

What permissions do extensions need?

Extensions request only the permissions needed for their features-for example, injecting CSS for scrollbar styles or scripts for cursor effects. Review permissions on the store listing before installing. Cusmize extensions do not sell personal data or inject ads into websites.

Troubleshooting

5 questions in this category

My extension isn't working. What should I do?

First, try refreshing the page. If that doesn't work, check if the extension is enabled in your browser's extension settings. You can also try disabling and re-enabling the extension, or reinstalling it from the store.

The extension disappeared from my browser. Where did it go?

Extensions can sometimes be hidden in your browser's extension menu. Check your browser toolbar for the extension icon, or go to your browser's extension management page (chrome://extensions or about:addons) to find and pin it to your toolbar.

Will my customizations be saved?

Yes, your extension settings and customizations are saved locally in your browser. However, if you clear your browser data or uninstall the extension, your settings will be lost. Some extensions may offer cloud sync in the future.

The extension conflicts with another extension. What can I do?

Some extensions may conflict with each other, especially those that modify the same page elements. Try disabling other extensions one by one to identify the conflict. If the issue persists, contact our support team with details about both extensions.

I'm seeing ads on websites. Is this from Cusmize?

Cusmize extensions do not inject ads into websites. If you're seeing ads, they're likely from the website itself or other ad-blocking/extension conflicts. Our extensions are ad-free and focused solely on customization.

Privacy & Security

4 questions in this category

Do Cusmize extensions collect my personal data?

No. Our extensions respect your privacy. We don't collect personal information, browsing history, or any sensitive data. Extensions work locally in your browser and only modify the visual appearance of websites as you customize them.

Do extensions track my browsing activity?

No, our extensions do not track your browsing activity. They only access the necessary permissions to customize visual elements (like scrollbars or cursors) and do not monitor or record your web activity.

What permissions do extensions require?

Extensions require minimal permissions to function. For example, scrollbar customization needs access to modify CSS on web pages, and cursor trail needs permission to inject scripts. These permissions are standard and necessary for the extension's functionality.

Can I see what data an extension accesses?

Yes. In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions, click 'Details' on any extension, and review the permissions. In Firefox, check about:addons. All permissions are clearly listed and explained before installation.
