Emoji reactions in Opera

Opera is Chromium underneath, so it takes the Chrome Web Store build. The only difference is the button you press to accept it.

Install it

  1. Open the Emojery listing on the Chrome Web Store, in Opera.
  2. Click Add to Opera, and approve the install prompt if Opera asks for confirmation.
  3. Pin it to the toolbar so the popup is 1 click away. Step by step.
Drawing Pinned, the icon sits beside the address bar and counts the Emojery buttons on the page you are looking at.

What you get in Opera

The Emojery button in a site's action row, next to the site's own Like, Dislike and Share controls
The button joins the row the site already has, wearing that row's shape and colors.

What you are installing

The listing is reviewed by Google before publication and on every update, and the extension is public under GPL-3.0, so the reviewed package and the readable source are the same thing.

Browser permissions explains each permission it asks for, and privacy lists everything that leaves your browser. Your reaction history is not on that list: it never leaves the browser that made it.

Where the button turns up

Emojery does not add a bar of its own. It finds the row the site already uses for Like, Star, Share or Vote, and puts the emoji button in it, styled to match what is next to it.

On a long feed the buttons arrive as you scroll rather than all at once, which is deliberate: mounting one per post up front is what makes a feed crawl.

Updates arrive through the store

Support for each site is a small piece of code shipped inside the reviewed extension, so a site redesign is fixed by a normal update rather than by anything changing on our servers. What happens when a site redesigns goes through that.

Add it to Opera

It is the Chrome Web Store build, and it behaves in Opera exactly as it does in Chrome.
