I'm surprised. I'm running uMatrix and block all js by default. Still, my mouse pointer got changed into a spaceship. How does this work?

Looks like you can set the cursor [1] property on some root element and it replaces the cursor with a custom image.

To the moon!

From memory, it’s just CSS. You have a ‘pointer: spaceship.ico’ probably on the body.

cursor: url (path to spaceship.cur) or something like that.
