At the very least it should be toggleable. It's distracting and impedes readability.

Ostensibly, the goal of writing a blog post is for others to read it.

Literally ALL major browsers support reader mode nowadays.

Reader mode is much much more than just "turn off other people's pointers".

Chrome's "reader mode" sucks.

Advertising company’s browser makes it hard to remove advertising: news at 11.

Don’t use Chrome then.

It is.

Use reader mode in your browser.

I personally don't think it should be toggleable, it is their choice how to setup their site. You eigther like or you don't.

But you can easily remove the dom element that displays the cursors if the content is interesting to you and the cursors are the only thing preventing you from reading it..

In a perfect world it would respect the user's motion preference (maybe it does?)
