Q. What makes it different?? from those annoying huge-face smiley softwares you find lurking all over the web, which probably infect your PC with malware.
A. Let me break it down into parts for better explanation:
i) PotatoSmile installs on Chrome, not your OS, and just converts certain symbols to graphical images.
ii) It uses the same smileys you loved in Yahoo! messenger. With the evolution of web, and Google/FB domination, Yahoo! messenger got left alone in the dark, and people now prefer to use Skype/gTalk/FBChat. But still, there's one thing which keeps reminding us of the once-popular IM client Yahoo! Messenger, oh yea! their cute smileys!. We've all used them, we all know their short codes, and most of us miss them too. So here it is, Yahoo! smileys now on Facebook
iii) PotatoSmile DOES NOT believe in spamming and HATES it as much as you. We will NEVER spam your Facebook wall or add a line at the end of each comment saying "Hey! I'm using this uber cool Chrome extension and you should also try this!". However, you are free (and humbly invited) to spread the word yourself. :-)
PS: The graphical emoticons can be viewed only in Chrome browsers having PotatoSmile extention. So feel free to share and spread the smile!

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!
