Emoji reactions in Vivaldi
Vivaldi is for people who want a say in what every site does. Emojery matches that: it has a switch per supported site, not just one for everything.
Install it
- Open the Emojery listing on the Chrome Web Store, in Vivaldi.
- Click Add to Vivaldi, then confirm.
- No Add to Vivaldi button? Open Settings, go to Privacy and Security, find Google Extensions, and enable the Web Store option. Then reload the listing.
- Pin it to the toolbar so the popup is 1 click away. Step by step.
What you get in Vivaldi
| Installs from | Chrome Web Store |
|---|---|
| Reviewed by | Google, before the listing is published and again on every update |
| Per-site control | A toggle for every supported site, on top of the master switch. How to use it |
| Mobile | Desktop only. On Android, use Firefox or Edge - the Android section of the install page has the full list. |
| Private windows | Off until you allow it on the extension's details page. What changes there |
| Price | Free, open source, no ads, no tracking. |
What you are installing
The Chrome Web Store reviews the listing before publication and on every update, and the extension is public under GPL-3.0. If you would rather run a copy you compiled, that path is documented.
Each permission has a reason on browser permissions, and privacy lists what leaves the browser. If the answer you want is "nowhere I have not agreed to", the per-site toggles are the shortest route: a site switched off gets no picker at all.
Per-site, not just on or off
Turn on Only selected sites and every supported site gets its own switch, with a filter above the list. That is the setting Vivaldi users usually reach for first, and it is the one to use if you want the picker on a repository but not on a feed. Step by step.
Switching the section back off re-enables every site rather than remembering your exceptions, so it is worth knowing before you flip it twice.
Your settings stay in this install
The per-site switches, the theme and the auto-press lists live in this copy of Vivaldi. Reactions follow your account anywhere you sign in; the preferences do not, and neither does the history list.
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 Safari
Not yet, and why: Safari needs its own separate build. What to use on a Mac in the meantime.
Add it to Vivaldi
Once it is in, the per-site switches decide where it shows up and where it stays out of the way.
