Q. Emojis on a web page may not disappear after removing CSS selectors or keywords

Since EmoGuard runs immediately after a web page starts loading, in rare cases it may conflict with the behavior of the framework used in the web page.
In such cases, please reload the page to remove the emojis or turn off extensions on the site.

Q. There are sites where the extension does not work

EmoGuard is designed to work with most websites, but unfortunately it's not perfect.
The web is created with a wide variety of technologies, and it is technically and practically difficult to support all of them.

EmoGuard is not guaranteed to work with every site, but we are continuing to tune it to work with as many websites as possible.
