Top Questions & Quick Answers
How do I install and activate Custom Cursor Store in Google Chrome?
Click 'Add to Chrome • Free' in the top header or visit the Chrome Web Store. Once installed, pin Custom Cursor Store to your toolbar. Click the extension icon to select any cursor effect or open any webpage and press 'C' or 'Ctrl+Click' to summon the 8-slot radial wheel immediately.
Why doesn't my custom cursor appear on the Chrome Web Store or new tab page?
Google Chrome enforces a strict security policy that prevents all extensions from injecting content scripts or modifying system cursors on internal browser URLs (such as chrome://, chrome-extension://, and chromewebstore.google.com). Once you navigate to any standard webpage (e.g. google.com, youtube.com, github.com, wikipedia.org), your custom cursor activates instantly.
What keyboard and mouse shortcuts are supported?
Custom Cursor Store features two fast shortcuts: press the 'C' key anywhere on a webpage to open the 8-slot radial wheel, or use 'Ctrl+Click' to pop open the radial wheel directly at your cursor coordinates.
Does Custom Cursor Store cause browser lag or drain laptop battery?
No! Unlike older extensions that repeatedly create heavy DOM elements and trigger layout reflows, Custom Cursor Store renders in a single isolated HTML5 Canvas using GPU hardware acceleration. Furthermore, animation loops automatically pause during fast page scrolling or when the browser tab is hidden in the background, keeping battery drain near zero.
How can I test custom cursors live without installing anything?
Visit https://customcursor.store and click 'TRY LIVE' on any cursor card. The authentic 60 FPS animation will immediately leap onto your screen so you can test velocity physics, follower kinematics, and visuals in real time before equipping.
How do I unlock new cursor trails from the website into my extension?
Whenever you find a cursor you like on customcursor.store, simply click '+ ADD'. If your Chrome extension is installed, the web bridge unlocks and syncs that effect to your popup and in-page radial wheel instantly with zero browser restarts needed.
How do I restore the normal default Windows / Mac cursor pointer?
You can restore your default system pointer anytime by clicking '↖️ RESET DEFAULT' on the website catalog, or by selecting the Default Cursor slot in your extension popup or radial wheel. You can also toggle the main extension power switch to OFF.
Does Custom Cursor Store work on Google Docs and Gmail?
Yes! Custom Cursor Store works seamlessly across Google Docs, Gmail, YouTube, Reddit, Discord web, and general websites. When hovering over text inputs, the cursor adapts with contextual indicators while preserving the selected aesthetic trail.
Is Custom Cursor Store safe and does it collect my personal browsing data?
Custom Cursor Store is 100% safe, verified, and adheres to strict zero-data collection. We do not track, collect, or transmit your browsing history, URLs, keystrokes, or personal info. All settings are stored locally on your machine via chrome.storage.local.
