Is it possible to hide the mouse cursor in a web browser?
I've done this in Flash for a touch screen application, where a mouse cursor is distracting and unneeded. This time it's for a display screen that is non-interactive, so a mouse cursor is not needed.
My gut feeling is there's no easy way to achieve this in the web browser, only by use of a browser plug-in.
The browser in use is Firefox, so perhaps there's a plug-in that achieves this? Although it would be preferable to be able to do this via JavaScript/jQuery.
Scroll to the end of the page, and click to expand Advanced settings. Scroll to the Accessibility section and disable the toggle next to 'Navigate pages with a text cursor' to turn off the blinking cursor.
Hides the cursor on all pages at the same time. Also comes with a keyboard shortcut to hide the cursor: Ctrl+Shift+H/Cmd+Shift+H idk why but the cursor annoys me when I'm reading a blogpost or something and pressing *any* button to hide it is just way too much of a hassle for me.
Press Windows Key +I and go to Ease of access and select Mouse option from the left Pane and try to set default settings for mouse and see if it helps.
Just use a CSS rule:
* { cursor: none; }
