mouse-tracker-extension

Chrome extension that can record mouse movements/clicks on a page and export them as a JSON object. Also draws a nice little picture of the movements in the popup window.

Known bugs/issues

• Does not work across page loads. Will stop recording after a page load is in process, but will still be able to export everyhting up until that page load.
• Is not happy if you resize the screen while moving, or if you use with a devtools window open. The image drawing does not work properly in these cases.
• Will only work on http/https sites (i.e. won't work on about:blank or chrome://version/)
