Twemoji for Chrome is a handy extension that replaces your browser's default emojis with Twitter's Twemoji set, ensuring colorful and up-to-date emoji displays regardless of your operating system's native support. Perfect for users on older OS versions like Windows 7, this extension enhances your browsing experience by showing emoji icons that adhere to Unicode 14.0 and Emoji 14.0 specs.

Key features include the use of SVG-based emojis for crisp visuals, the ability to correctly display flags, and options to customize emoji size and exclude specific sites. Note that replacement only applies to emojis present during the initial page load, relies on an internet connection to fetch emoji data, and may introduce a slight delay on platforms like YouTube. Twemoji for Chrome continuously updates along with the Twemoji library, ensuring access to the latest emojis and improvements.

用了一段时间，还挺好用的。不过之后出现了问题，就是打开油管时，刷新按钮那里一直在转圈，当转圈停止时，正在播放的视频，会从头开始播。

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Twemoji for Chrome requires very minimum permissions.
