Emoji reactions in Safari
Emojery does not run in Safari today. This page says why a Safari version is its own separate build, and what to use on a Mac meanwhile.
What you get in Safari
| Available | Not yet |
|---|---|
| Would install from | The App Store, as part of a native app |
| macOS today | Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Opera or Vivaldi - all of them run Emojery. Pick one |
| iPhone and iPad | Nothing yet. An iOS build is the same Safari Web Extension, so it arrives with the Mac one |
| Android instead | Firefox for Android or Edge for Android both work. Firefox guide |
| Progress | Announced through the repository releases |
What you are installing
There is nothing to install, so there is nothing to vet. If a site or a download offers you an Emojery extension for Safari today, it is not ours.
When there is one, it will be held to what the rest of the project already publishes: every permission explained, everything it sends written down, and the whole source public under GPL-3.0.
Why Safari is a separate build
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi all take one package from one store, and Firefox takes a second one. Safari takes neither: an extension there ships inside a native app, distributed through the App Store and reviewed as an app.
That is a different build, a different release process and a different set of accounts to maintain, which is why it is not simply the next store on the list.
What works on a Mac right now
Every other desktop browser on macOS. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi all run the same extension, with the same counts and the same account.
Reactions live with your account, so nothing is stranded if you start in Chrome today and move to Safari the day it ships.
Using a different browser?
-
Emojery for Chrome
The Chrome Web Store build, what it can do in Chrome, and what it asks for on the way in.
-
Emojery for Firefox
The one browser where Emojery also runs on your phone, and what Mozilla's review covers.
-
Emojery for Edge
Installing from Microsoft's own add-ons store, and what works on Edge for Android.
-
Emojery for Brave
Installing from the Chrome Web Store, and what a browser chosen for privacy should want to know before adding an extension.
-
Emojery for Opera
Chrome Web Store now, Opera Add-ons soon, the same extension in both.
-
Emojery for Vivaldi
Installing from the Chrome Web Store, what to do if the install button is missing, and the per-site switches Vivaldi users tend to want.
Pick a browser that runs it today
Every other desktop browser runs the same extension on the same account, so starting somewhere else today costs nothing when Safari lands.
