Enables your browser to display colored emojis if your OS does not support it. Replaces the default emojis with Twemoji (Twitter emoji library).
Twemoji (v13.0 as of this publishing) adheres to the Unicode 13.0 spec and supports the Emoji 13.0 spec. More Twemoji info here:

This is a modified version of the extension found here:
https://github.com/benjick/chrome-twemoji
Notable changes:
* Emojis are now pulled from: https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/v/latest/. This should automatically cover new emojis whenever an update to Twemoji is released.
* Uses SVGs instead of PNGs.
Quick background:
I use a Windows 7 machine where color emojis are not supported. I used several other extensions but noticed that they were rather old and did not support newer emojis. I couldn't find an updated one so I decided to create my own. Works great on my machine, so hopefully it also works correctly on yours.
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.
* Uses SVG files for the replacement images so may cause issues if your browser has poor support for SVGs.
* Extension may cause YouTube to load slower than usual. If this occurs, kindly disable or uninstall this extension.
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.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
