What a cute cursor looks like
Cute cursors share a look: soft pastel colours, round shapes, a small face or a paw, and a hand pointer drawn to match. The best ones stay readable - you can still tell where the tip of the arrow is - while being far nicer than the default pointer. On Cursor Style every cursor is a pair, the arrow and the pointer, so hovering a link keeps the style instead of dropping back to the system hand.
Because the cursor is applied by the free Chrome extension, it shows on every page you open - Google Docs, YouTube, Roblox, your school portal - and the system cursor on the desktop stays untouched. That is also why it works on Chromebooks, where the system cursor cannot be changed at all.

Match the cursor to the rest
A cute cursor looks best as part of a set. Pair a pastel cursor with a Rainbow Hearts or Bubble effect from the extension, keep the size a notch above default so the details show, and pick a collection - Hello Kitty, Pusheen, Labubu - so the arrow and the hand pointer are drawn by the same hand.
