Description from store
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.

- (2025-05-25) herewegoagain: Very cool!
- (2024-10-07) Harry Theodore B: Hello Team Twemoji, please fix this extension! It slows down YouTube.
- (2024-08-19) Quang Minh Nguyễn Việt: Soooo good! Chrome on my old Windows 7 computer can now show emojis after installing this!
- (2024-08-09) Anders Fougner: With this extension, Chrome freezes any time I try to use an emoji of any kind. So I had to disable this extension.
- (2024-07-12) Zach: Works pretty well. I just wish twemoji would work everywhere and be compatible with every browser. It's annoying that we don't have universal emojis. Anyway, this extension lets me see the much better twemojis in Chrome on windows 10. There are 2 issues I noticed, however. In Google Sheets, if a unicode symbol has an emoji equivalent, it will be replaced with an emoji, but when done editing the cell, the emoji will be deleted. I just added Google Docs to the exception list. The other issue is related to the exception list. If you have a blank line at the end, the entire extension stops working.
- (2024-06-07) L Azad: This will cause errors in Google Translate Chinese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- (2024-05-04) Annika N: 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.
- (2024-04-05) Rafaello Adler-Abramo: 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.
- (2024-04-04) Faruq 9854: 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.
- (2024-03-25) Ek Vi: Excellent. Works on windows 7.
- (2024-01-12) Анастасия Сушкова: Wow this is awesome, thanks a lot! I use Brave on Windows 7 and was so tired of the colourless emojis :D I must add, however, that for some reason it slows down Youtube. Pages load very slowly, but as soon as I turn the extension off, it loads normally.
- (2023-08-14) Farzad Majidfayyaz: 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!!!

- (2023-04-18) muhamad muktar MIM: I kind of hoped that this extension do it all, but it couldn't. It couldn't display some symbols like "🅘🅝🅕🅛🅤🅔🅝🅒🅔🅡" 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 what "Noto Emoji" font does, and I set my browser on "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.

- (2022-10-05) Korutz: 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.

- (2022-09-05) ???: I really love this extension, but i wish there was a button that replaces native emojis with Twemoji instead after the page has loaded, so it can replace emojis loaded through scripts EDIT: They actually added a button to do that, thank you so much! 🥺 ...Unfortunately it still can't load emojis from scripts so i'm keeping the 4 star rating.

- (2022-01-03) Cruz Cáceres: Funciona bastante bien, en Windows 10 no están todos los emojis y en los navegadores se pierde mucho su función, así que esta es una muy buena opción. 🙌
- (2021-11-02) Camilo ._.: Esta extencion esta super. Los emojis cargan inmediatamente y muy completos los emojis, la verdad lo recomiendo muchísimo 👌
- (2021-07-28) Daniel José Bonilla Guerra: Es muy buena la extensión, y es la más actualizada y completa que conseguí. Solo tengo un pequeño problema, y es que cuando ingreso a YouTube, los títulos de algunos vídeos que usan emojis a veces se repiten en otros, o se descuadran, o sea, salen títulos de algunos vídeos en otros vídeos de otro nombre, haciendo que se repitan y llegue a confundir el usuario. Espero que corrijan esa parte, de resto la extensión funciona bien.
- (2021-07-19) Zeph Cranney: 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.

- (2021-07-15) Not 1067CS: It works beautiful on Windows 7. But I'm experiencing random comments issues as well. It's not much of problem for me though, but if it becomes unbearable, I will apply Joel's solution then. Thanks for this great addon!

- (2021-06-19) Tony S.: 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.

- (2021-05-17) Bianka Barova: Oh my God, finally! Thank you so much, I've been at my wits' end because I prefer using a chromium-based browser and the only downside was the lack of colorful emoji support, as I am running Windows 7 OS, so this is just what I needed! Nothing complicated - you just install it and it works! Yayyy

- (2020-12-04) joel j: Amazing! I now have beautiful emojis on Youtube and Instagram on Windows 8.1. Had to restart Chrome after installing to fix some weird Youtube video title errors. Twemoji looks so much nicer than Firefox's built in emojis.

- (2020-09-01) Viktor Engkvist: Works alright, wish you could control the size of the emojis. And it also loads pretty slowly and doesn't work when new content is loaded in(for example browsing through comments).
