The mouse pointer background is kinda a dick move. Good article. but the background is annoying for tired old eyes - which I assume are a target demographic for that article.

Thank you for this! You can also get rid of it with a custom ad-blocker rule. I added these to uBlock Origin, and it totally kills the pointer thing.

You're actually seeing mouse pointers of other people having the page open. It connects to a websocket endpoint including the page URL and your platform (OS) and sends your current mouse position every second.
