Meanwhile, in a conversation with a coworker…

Me: My aha! moment from this week was to use Cline1 with this new “Use the browser” integration. It opens an embedded web browser within its pane and starts to use the cursor to click around.

Coworker: Cursor2, the IDE?

Me: Nooo, I mean, the mouse cursor, the pointer.

I was waiting for this moment when the overloaded “Cursor” term would become ambiguous. It’s just somewhat of a funny coincidence that it appeared in the context of one of its main competitors.
