This extension hides your mouse when idle over videos. YouTube™ and HBO Max and others have this built-in already.
Supported Websites:
✔ Hulu
✔ Vimeo
✔ Dailymotion
✔ and many more
You can also set a keyboard shortcut to manually hide the cursor (hovering over video or fullscreen not required).
Contact me if there's a specific website you'd like me to add specific timeout settings for. By default the idle time is set to 2 seconds after the last mouse movement. YouTube, for example, has a 4 second idle time so that the mouse hides when for the player interface gets hidden too.
⚠️ Troubleshooting and Notes:
▸ It appears that Chrome extensions that hide the mouse cursor require the mouse to be moved after the pages loads. I haven't found a way around this.
▸ Some website video players resist cursor hiding. I found a work-around for fullscreen videos but I'm not aware of a solution when videos are not fullscreen.
Want to zoom, rotate, stretch or flip video?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
