Emoji Reactions in Twitter stopped shipping updates before Twitter even became X. Emojery is the maintained, open-source way to get emoji reactions on X posts today.
The extension's Chrome Web Store card tells the story on its own. The last release is dated March 2022, and X has been through several UI overhauls and a rebrand since — a DOM-touching extension frozen that long is living on borrowed time. The card also discloses handling authentication information, and the code is closed source.
One more structural limit: its reactions are visible only to other users of the same extension, and the identity model behind them is not documented. The count you see is really "people with this exact plugin who happened to pass by".
Emojery ships continuously, and its site adapters are small and bundled with the extension, so an X markup change becomes a focused update rather than a dead project. Emoji reactions on X posts and photos are supported now.
Reactions are aggregated globally and each one belongs to an account a provider vouched for — one provider account, hashed irreversibly, one current reaction per post. The same account on 3 browsers counts once, not 3 times.
The same picker and the same counts work on Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Threads, YouTube, GitHub, GitLab, and Amazon, with more sites on the roadmap.
Emojery never touches your X login. It has no reason to. The extension is GPL-3 on GitHub, so "what does it actually do on my page" is answerable by reading the code.
Remove the old extension, install Emojery for Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, and sign in with a provider you already use the first time you react. That's the entire migration.
Choose Emojery if you want emoji reactions on X that still work next year, count verified people, and come with readable source.
Stay if the appeal is exactly what the older extension does differently: reactions that stay inside its own circle of users rather than becoming a public count. Beyond that, the public listing offers little to weigh, being Chrome-only, closed source, and last released in March 2022.
