Make GitHub use the system emoji font instead of serving ugly images.

Download

Install

Features & Capabilities

This extension makes GitHub use the system emoji font on Linux, FreeBSD, and other non-Windows, non-macOS systems.

– Details

When browsing GitHub on non-Apple and Microsoft platforms GitHub performs image replacement on emoji, replacing the text with mis-aligned images of the super ugly Noto Color Emoji font. This extension alters the user agent to appear as Windows when on GitHub so that it does not mess with the emoji and uses the emoji font installed on your system.

Is GitHub System Emoji Safe?

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.

GitHub System Emoji requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
