You can get current cursor position, and you can render things at arbitrary positions on the screen. Making this not possible would probably unnecessarily restrict your ability to build even actually useful things.
Although hiding the real mouse cursor probably shouldn't be allowed without a permission dialog imo.
- dheera 6y agoYep the following part is fine with me, it's hiding the mouse cursor that is alienating. I would have thought it to be OK for a website to pick from a few standard system cursors (pointer, hand, I-bar, move, resize, etc.) but not no cursor.

- corobo 6y agoIf this gets traction please remember to allow hiding cursor if the user has full screened something! -- person trying to watch a video without a lil pointer in the way
- dheera 6y agoOr maybe the browser should implement hiding the cursor after 10 seconds of inactivity if the user has full-screened something. If a website made your cursor disappear immediately upon full screen that would be freaky, as if you lost control of your machine, thus, I don't think the websites should have this capability.

- t0astbread 6y agoWhat about browser games (not necessarily fullscreen) that need to grab and hide your cursor to be playable?
- vincnetas 6y agoYes, but you can use custom cursor, including a fully transparent one.
