PotatoSmile

Free addon for Facebook users which converts all general smiley codes into graphical emoticons like the ones on Yahoo! Messenger.

PotatoSmile: Turn Smile Codes into Graphical Emoticons on Facebook

PotatoSmile is a simple and user-friendly Chrome extension that allows users to use expressive graphical emoticons, akin to those on Yahoo! Messenger, on Facebook's timeline, chat, and comments. Once installed, it transforms text smiley codes like ':-)' into graphical emoticons, providing a richer and more emotive way to communicate. Unlike other software that require OS installations and may include malware, PotatoSmile operates solely on Chrome, but its emoticons are only visible to those also using the extension. It respects user privacy and avoids spamming, making for a safer, more expressive Facebook experience.
