TFC: Limitations and workarounds
Twemoji for Chrome > Limitations and workarounds
This extension should work for 90% of web pages out there, but note the following technical limitations.
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.
- May interfere with websites that interact with or are reliant on text emojis for their functionality.
- Can cause pages that contain many emojis to load very slowly.
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.
Sites that load a lot of emojis per tab may cause the extension to freeze.
If you feel that this extension has made your favorite sites slow or unusable, use the Options page to add them to the exception list. If this still does not help, use the following page to uninstall this extension:
