Cursor Trail for Chrome
Add a smooth cursor trail to Chrome — dots, ribbon, stars or bubbles that follow your mouse — plus click bursts, rings, hearts and sparkles. Built in, free, and no ads inside the extension.
A Chrome browser extension that restyles your cursor inside Chrome, not your operating system.
How to add it
A taste of the library
Browse all & buildHundreds of original cursors across themed collections, plus a constructor to build your own pair.
Real mouse trails, built in — not a separate add-on
Some tools make you install a second extension just for a mouse trail. Cursor Customiser has trails built in: choose dots, ribbon, stars or bubbles, set the length, and they follow your pointer smoothly at 60fps. Toggle them on or off any time.
Click effects too — bursts, rings, hearts and sparkles
Every click can pop with an effect: bursts, rings, hearts or sparkles. It’s GPU-accelerated so it stays smooth, and you can turn it off instantly for a distraction-free moment.
Pair a trail with any custom cursor
Trails work alongside your chosen custom cursor, so you get a matched look — a themed pointer plus a trail and click effect that suit it. Mix and match in the popup, or build your own normal-plus-hover pair in the constructor.
Lightweight and reduced-motion aware
Trails run on the GPU and respect your system’s reduced-motion setting, so they stay smooth and considerate. Free, with no ads inside the extension, and everything reverts cleanly when you toggle it off.
