Description from extension meta
Hides the cursor after a configurable amount of time
Description from store
Automatically hides the Cursor on webpages after a configurable amount of seconds. Hides the cursor on all pages at the same time.
Also comes with a keyboard shortcut to hide the cursor: Ctrl+Shift+H/Cmd+Shift+H
idk why but the cursor annoys me when I'm reading a blogpost or something and pressing *any* button to hide it is just way too much of a hassle for me. See also https://xkcd.com/1319/, except replace "time" with "not fun".

- (2020-10-02) Jebediah Cornholis: 5 stars to even out the unfair opinions, but I found the problem. #1. Works on Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube, which is what I was looking for. #2. Works on Calmly Writer, another + to distraction-free writing. BONUS! The only problem was when the cursor size changed(Accessibility Options) it began blinking as reported above. C'mon, people. You get free, and you expect the world. Be grateful and maybe more people will gift you more often.

It would be great if your extension had a second shortcut were the cursor stay hided till you hit the shortcut again. than would it be perfect - (2018-06-11, v:0.1.0) Ytterbium Yttrium: have the opposite problem...
