Suggestions #3

Works very well in Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, thank you!!

To Roderick the dev (@the-emoji-guy), if you're reading this, I have a few questions and requests:

  1. Make this extension available in both the Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox add-ons webstores.
  2. I saw you used an Android-ish emoji set for the country flags. I'd suggest maybe adding a separate toggle for flag emojis only, allowing choice between Android's (wavy), Twemoji (rounded rectangles) and one even simpler design (plain rectangles).
  3. Two more suggestions: if possible, please add these emoji sets: JoyPixels, WhatsApp's latest, Facebook & Messenger old emojis (3D-ish, and also that Pac-Man emoji), Apple's iOS, Microsoft Teams' & Windows 11's Fluent emojis, also Skype's own custom emojis (animated maybe? I doubt it's possible, but hopefully…) -- JoyPixels (formerly EmojiOne) is my favorite emoji pack on Telegram for Desktop, I really like them -- and miss them here! However, I understand there might be licensing limitations which could cause you trouble, so tread carefully so your extension doesn't get pulled from the Web Store(s).

Also: kudos for resurrecting Blob -- on Windows! I can't tell how wonderful it feels to see it back here -- supporting even the newest Unicode emojis, such as 🫠 and 🫣.

  1. ~Another suggestion: several emoji vendors include a few special emojis as their own. You could enable them on a per-case basis, each with its own toggle.~ Examples: Clippy appears in Windows 11 for 📎 -- oh my goodness, **it's already here*, I LOVE YOU!!** * Clippy does appear only when Blobmoji is selected, but not with Fluent Emoji -- could you please fix this?

  2. Do even Windows 10's Ninja Cats emojis work too? Let's see… 🐱‍👤 -- sigh, sadly, they don't. Could you please add them? This one would be my top priority, as I really love them (and Windows 11 getting rid of them has been yet another reason why I stubbornly refuse to upgrade, hah!).

  1. Please also add support for some non-standard Unicode characters/codepoints and some vendors custom emojis -- here are a few: / Apple logo/logos (both black-and-white and vintage rainbow-colored, if possible);  Twitter logo; ☭ hammer and sickle; some of Facebook's old emoticons (:v Pacman, :3 curly lips, o.O O.o big eyes, (^^^) shark, (y) like, etc.…); a selection of some old Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Messenger emoticons (brb, :S confused, angry showing teeth, sarcastic, disappointed, telling secrets, etc.…) -- I'm not sure how these could be implemented and if it's worth it at all, since it's not about replacing emoji/emoticon here and there, but converting text strings (such as :v or brb) to these images.
