  • Works well, but not on mobile

    Works well for browser purposes, but emoji replacement still seems to happen when the site loads on mobile.

  • Very simple and very effective !!

    Ich liebe dieses Plugin. Es verhindert zuverlässig die unkontrollierbaren gelbe Klekse in meiner Webseite und bringt die unaufdringlichen Emojis der ersten Generation wieder zurück ;-) - selbst auf Tablets und Smartphones.
