Comment Anywhere makes the web social through threads. Emojery makes the web more expressive through counts.
Comment Anywhere's Chrome Web Store card describes a universal comment layer tied to page URLs, with Supabase login, profiles, threaded replies, and emoji reactions on comments. The public card lists 2 users and no ratings.
Emojery is not a comment-thread product. It focuses on verified emoji reactions attached to supported targets, with public source code and a privacy posture that stores nothing about pages you only viewed.
| Emojery | Comment Anywhere | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Verified emoji reaction counts | Universal comment threads on webpages |
| Feedback format | One emoji reaction per verified account per target | Comments, replies, profiles, and emoji reactions on comments |
| Sites covered | Supported-site adapters | Any webpage, per the Chrome Web Store card |
| Identity model | One provider sign-in, then a one-way account identifier | Email/password registration via Supabase, per the store card |
| Data handled | An opaque id from your sign-in provider, kept only as a one-way hash, a session token, and the public identifier of the target; nothing stored about pages you only viewed (policy) | Personally identifiable information and authentication information, per the Chrome Web Store card |
| Source code | Public on GitHub, GPL-3 | Privacy policy links to GitHub; source repository is not linked as project code |
| Last public update | Continuous project updates | September 16, 2025 on the Chrome Web Store card |
Comment Anywhere uses emoji reactions as part of a comment system. Emojery uses emoji reactions as the product itself: the thing being counted is the page target, not a written comment beneath it.
Comment Anywhere describes user registration, profiles, display names, and email/password authentication. Emojery uses a provider sign-in only to establish one account per provider account; reading counts does not require signing in.
Comment Anywhere's public Chrome Web Store card lists 2 users and no ratings. That says nothing about the idea, but it does mean any thread you find is close to an empty room. Worth knowing before you rely on it — and a fair question to put to us as well, which is why we answer it about ourselves.
The Emojery browser extension is public on GitHub. Users can inspect supported-site adapters, target derivation, popup behavior, and count reads directly. Comment Anywhere's public listing describes the architecture at a high level, but does not expose the extension source as a public repo.
Pick Comment Anywhere if you want threaded public discussions on arbitrary URLs and are comfortable with a very early community.
Pick Emojery if you want focused, verified emoji counts without adding another comment system to the page.
