Why customize your cursor?
More visual personality
Stand out during demos, streams, or everyday browsing with motion and color at the pointer.
Lightweight by design
Cusmize extensions aim to stay small so Chrome stays responsive on typical pages.

Need cursors outside the browser?

Frequently asked questions
- Do custom cursor extensions slow down Chrome?
- Well-built extensions add minimal overhead. If a tab feels sluggish, try disabling other cursor extensions or reducing trail length in Cursor Trail settings.
- Can I use Cursor Trail and Kitty together?
- You can install both, but two cursor effects may conflict. For the smoothest experience, enable one cursor extension at a time.
- Does this work in Microsoft Edge?
- Many Cusmize extensions are available on Edge Add-ons as well. Check the product page for an Edge install link when offered.
- Why do I not see effects on some sites?
- Some websites use strict security policies or full-screen modes that block overlays. Try another tab or a regular article page to test.
