hide cursor in full screen

"I'm not a fan of their bookmarks bar because it doesn't display favicons" - I don't use the bookmarks bar, so I can't speak to that one. I have Safari setup such that New Tabs, and New Windows, "Open With: Homepage" which displays favorites and recently visited, so that works for me. Otherwise, I just click on Bookmarks in the Safari menu. Regardless of browser, I have just never been a fan of consuming valuable screen real estate with a bookmarks bar. Personal preference. 😊

If you really are averse to Safari, give FireFox a try. It is a strong player with great privacy focus. Especially the latest iteration with its improvements and always on sandboxed site containers. Arguably, no extensions required beyond uBlock Origin for ad and annoyance blocking. Use the fact that you are "frustrated with Chrome" as a catalyst to make a shift toward privacy and not being tracked. You will be glad you did.

Hi bird66,

Your tagline shows "Windows, Windows 10" and you are using Chrome. Are you sure you are in the right place? 😊

Regardless of the problem experienced, my first suggestion is always to stop using Chrome! I will spare you my soapbox on Google's privacy concerns, and just jump to asking whether you have the same cursor problem in Safari?

Is this related to the users profile Windows 10 or macOS Monterey 12.1 ?

No worries. Best of luck!
