doesn't really work for me with Chrome on Windows 7 - an image flashes for a split-second, then it's back to "Finding pointer" (I'm not even touching my mouse)


Same here. Just flashes the picture really fast in the latest stable release of Chrome under Windows 7. Works beautifully in the latest Firefox though. Windows IE isn't supported at all apparently (I tried IE 9).

Are the developers willing to share some insight into how this works? The picture selection is right on and there seems to be a good number of pictures at that.


Agreed - never quite settles to actually show anything, just keeps asking me to hold still even though my hand's off the mouse...


Same problem windows 7 x64 Chrome 19.0.1084.52


It seems to work for me when I move the cursor off the page, though that misses the point.


Works fine in Chromium 21.0.1136.0 (136796).


Snow Leopard/Chrome 19 works fine.

Seems like it's Win/Chrome.


intersting: on Ubuntu 12.04, still with Chrome, it works


doesn't work on Windows 7 Chrome 20.0.1132.27


It looks like Chrome is firing the "mousemove" event when it shouldn't.

One way to make it work is to right click where you want it inside the square it and then left click anywhere outside the square.

In the Javascript looks like the error could be patched in Flasher.js line 72; save the last event.clientX and event.clientY and then check if the mouse coordinates have actually changed.


Doesn't work in Chrome but the 'right mouse click' hack works.

There are likely some good opportunities for this code however speed of response may be a problem? Runs a little slow on my PC.
