Notable changes for v0.0.8 :
* Default CDN updated to jsDeliver
* Removed MaxCDN as an option
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.
* 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. If you feel that this extension has made YouTube slow or unusable, kindly disable or uninstall this extension.
* May interfere with websites that interact with or are reliant on text emojis for their functionality. 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.
