This is a great extension and can really be helpful for low-vision users, with or without screen magnifiers. It can also be used to help sighted assistants for folks who have screen readers if it makes the caret follow what the screen reader is reading. One improvement would be adding auditory feedback when the caret browsing is toggled on and when it is toggled off, or at least giving an option that would allow this to be available. F7 toggles caret browsing on and off.

Ошибка, без перезагрузки Хрома не начал работать. Работает дёргана, застревает, при выделение вниз может за 0.5 сек дойти до конца страницы. Пока что у FFox лучше АКурсор.

Can't figure it out. I am certain however, that this is due solely to operator error! :)-

I'm using Chrome Version 47.0.2526.111 m which says: "Google Chrome is up to date." under Windows 10 (also up to date), and like David A. Lewis said, how do you turn it ON? When I press F7, the little carrot icon changes to have a yellow background and the hover help says "Turn Off Caret Browsing (F7)", however no matter where I click on a Web page, I don't see a cursor (vertical dark line, or any other type of cursor). Therefore I can only conclude that this extension isn't working for me...
