Is "Spotify Cursor Pointer" on Firefox Add-ons Safe to Install?

Manglemire · firefox · v1.0

By default, Spotify Web Player doesn't change the mouse cursor when you hover over the Play button. I find it to be counter-intuitive and annoying. This extension will remedy that by changing the cursor style to Pointer (a hand with a finger). It is how most websites implement it, and it makes for a smoother user experience. Currently, the Pointer style is added to all Play buttons , as well as the song progress bar and the volume bar . Icons by https://dryicons.com
