Install Compare

Country Flag Fixer is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the browsing experience for Chromium users on Windows by replacing mysterious country codes with their corresponding flag emojis. Due to current limitations, browsers like Chrome and Microsoft Edge on Windows display country codes instead of flag emojis. This extension fixes that by using a special font based on Twemoji Country Flags, licensed under CC BY-ND 2.0.

The extension seamlessly substitutes the text-based country codes with vibrant and recognizable flag icons, making international content more visually engaging and easier to interpret. Easy to install and operate, Country Flag Fixer is the perfect solution for users seeking a more intuitive and aesthetic browsing interface on Chromium-based browsers running on Windows.

User reviews

Country Flag Fixer is valued for restoring proper country flags on websites like YouTube, solving a problem Microsoft has yet to address. Users find it effective and appreciate its availability on the official Microsoft Store. However, several reviews report that it significantly slows down page loading times and sometimes alters website fonts to Times New Roman. While generally helpful, it does not work uniformly across all sites and can occasionally stop functioning. Overall, it is a simple extension that fulfills its purpose but with some performance compromises.

Pros

Effectively fixes the missing or incorrect country flags issue on websites, especially on YouTube.
Provides a solution not natively fixed by Microsoft Edge or YouTube.
Simple and straightforward, does what it promises.
Available on the official Microsoft Store, preferred by some over other sources.
Users appreciate the extension as a useful hack to improve their browsing experience.

Cons

Slows down website loading times, noticeably on YouTube and other sites due to parsing the DOM and adding font styles.
May cause font issues by changing website fonts to Times New Roman in some cases.
Doesn't work on all websites consistently, and may stop functioning over time.

Excellent app! MS never has fixed this flags problem, so better we have this extensions. I know we can install from the G Store, but I wanted to try through the official MS app store. Works well, tested Mexican 🇲🇽 youtuber channel Luisito Comunica who uses many flags in his titles, also people in their comments. I didn't feel it slow down YouTube as other mentioned. Maybe it won't work on all websites, but at least on many of them!

Works, but slows down browser. Most noticeable in youtube when loading a video page.

Works great. Needed this for YouTube as it has been jarring to see letters instead of flags on my PC while they're fine on my phone.
