Description

Enables Chrome to display colored emojis even if your OS does not support it. Replaces the default emojis with Twemoji (Twitter emoji library). Twemoji (v14.0 as of this publishing) adheres to the Unicode 14.0 spec and supports the Emoji 14.0 spec. More Twemoji info here: * https://github.com/twitter/twemoji To get an overview of new emojis added in 14.0, click here: * https://emojipedia.org/emoji-14.0/ Notable changes for v0.0.8 : * Default CDN updated to jsDeliver * Removed MaxCDN as an option Quick background: I use a Windows 7 machine where color emojis are not supported. I used several other extensions but noticed that they were rather old and did not support newer emojis. I couldn't find an updated one so I decided to create my own. Works great on my machine, so hopefully it also works correctly on yours. Limitations: * Only replaces emojis that are already available during the initial page load. Emojis added after via ajax, lazy-loading or other scripts will not be affected. * Only works if browser is connected to the internet. It pulls emoji data from the internet, so replacement emojis may not appear if you're offline. * Also, replacement emojis will not appear when viewing local HTML files. * Uses SVG files for the replacement images so may cause issues if your browser has poor support for SVGs. * A 2-second delay was added when loading twemojis in YouTube since YouTube partially adds/pulls/shows content on a on-demand basis. If you feel that this extension has made YouTube slow or unusable, kindly disable or uninstall this extension. * May interfere with websites that interact with or are reliant on text emojis for their functionality. If this occurs, kindly disable or uninstall this extension. Advantages: * Replaces the default emoji set if you're not happy with the default emoji that comes with your OS. * Adds emoji support to Chrome, even if not supported by the OS. * Flags are shown correctly as actual flags, instead of the two-letter combo. ~~~~~ Changelog: v0.07 ~~[ 11/23/2022 ] * Added option to change CDN * Reorganized code for speed improvements v0.06 ~~[ 11/15/2022 ] * Fixed issue where saving merges all URLs as one long string * Added link to online help (https://bit.ly/TwemojiForChrome) * Note that above link is a work in progress v0.05 ~~[ 09/20/2022 ] * New help documentation * New option page that allows users to: -- Exclude specific sites -- Modify emoji size -- View an unmodified page * Code changes to handle YouTube pages v0.0.4 ~~[ 08/25/2022 ] * Updated parser to use the Twemoji 14.0.2 release * Added button to re-initialize the Twemoji conversions after load v0.0.3 ~~[ 02/09/2022 ] * Code updated for compatibility with Manifest v3 v0.0.2 ~~[ 10/08/2020 ] * Emojis are now pulled from: https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/v/latest/. This should automatically cover new emojis whenever an update to Twemoji is released. * Uses SVGs instead of PNGs. v0.0.1 ~~[ 07/17/2020 ] * Initial release 🐸

Hello Team Twemoji, please fix this extension! It slows down YouTube.

With this extension, Chrome freezes any time I try to use an emoji of any kind. So I had to disable this extension.

I finally figured out this was the reason my YouTube experience had gone down the drain. Most videos would take 20+ seconds to load after clicking, then would reload again 20 seconds into the video.

This extension break Youtube for me. It keep reload Youtube twice, it break manage subscribe channels, it break playlist, sometime Youtube think I'm not subscribe when watching stram, and probably many more I'm not know.

Messes up some sites, and when you want to exclude a site, if the site has a dash in its name, it automatically removes it!!!

This extension seems to be broken now. The website it tries to get emoji from (https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/v/latest/) gives a 404 error because the MaxCDN has renamed to Stackpath. Shame because it used to work perfectly.

sadly this is very broken on bsky.app browser it show emoji's but trying to pick an emoji or even paste one just.. deletes it, you can see the emoji, but you cant *use* emoji at all. in addition: it would be good if this was opt-in instead, because A LOT of sites just, straight up break or act weird with this, like especially search fields are odd? great concept, but flawed execution.

Used to work great but it's now breaking YouTube. Once this gets fixed I'll be happy to reenable it but until then, it has to stay off.

This extension breaks youtube. Reproduction steps: 1. Go to any channel page. 2. Switch between tabs (home, videos, playlists, about). 3. Clicking on each tab will reload whole page.

I kind of hoped that this extension do it all, but it couldn't. It couldn't display some symbols like "πŸ…˜πŸ…πŸ…•πŸ…›πŸ…€πŸ…”πŸ…πŸ…’πŸ…”πŸ…‘" that can be fixed by "Symbola" font, but "Symbola" font cannot display other emojis and symbols that can be fixed by "Noto Emoji" font. So I set on this extension to do whatΒ "Noto Emoji" font does, and I set my browser onΒ  "Symbola" font. Now I can get all emojis and symbols on Brave browser like Firefox with the help from this extension. This extension does display colored emojis.

The emoji display feature works quite well and allows me to view emojis in websites like YouTube. Unfortunately, it also injects extra random messages into comments in front of the emoji (mostly anime/football related), which is undesirable and seems quite intrusive. (who knows what else is going on behind the scene). Please remove those random message injections and I might consider using it again.
