Is there a way to make lichess NOT change the mouse cursor into a hand when it hovers over a piece?

The coordinate to which the arrow points is actually the center of the hand when it changes, so there are situations, when moving very quickly, where I'll "automatically" think the hand's fingers are pointing to a certain piece and I'm actually clicking on something below it... or sometimes I want to quickly click on a certain square and I end up clicking on the one below it for the same reason. This kind of misclick happens rarely, but when it does it is extremely annoying and I think it would be much simpler to just leave the cursor as is instead of changing it into something else.

You can do it with Stylus and userstyles, e.g.:

@-moz-document domain("lichess.org") {
.manipulable piece { cursor: default !important; }
}

Or pointer instead of default, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/cursor for other options.

Problem solved. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
And as it turned out, I just included the CSS in the ublock extension I already use, so there was no need to install another one.
Thanks a lot!

I noticed exactly this hand today - is that a new Lichess-feature??? I do not like it, too.

OHHHHHHH wait one sec now I know what it's like. It's not annoying I don't even see it really when I'm hovering over it.
So it doesn't bother me and I don't really care about Cursor changing into the " Hand "
