In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests broad host permissions (*://*/*, <all_urls>) combined with the scripting API. In practice, that means it can inject JavaScript and read or modify page content on every website you visit. For a custom cursor tool, this scope is unusually wide; it needs to inject styles and scripts on all pages to replace native cursors, but a careful user should know this level of access could also be repurposed silently.
General browser customization extensions often request full host access, which is a normal requirement to modify a site’s appearance globally. However, a user should be aware that such extensions can potentially capture keystrokes, form data, or browsing activity if they become compromised or change ownership. The developer’s declared privacy practices state data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes, but these are self-reported claims that haven’t been independently verified.
The extension’s strongest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership, suggesting an actively maintained codebase with recent updates. The weakest dimension is Publisher & Identity, which indicates limited public information about the developer, making it harder to assess their track record or trustworthiness beyond what’s stated in the store.
AI-assisted analysis of the documented signals above (permissions, store data, privacy practices) — explains what they mean and the risks typical for this category. Not a hands-on test.
