What Ezmoji actually does
Ezmoji runs as a browser extension that watches for emoji aliases
and familiar text shortcuts inside editable fields. When you type
something like :heart:, :D, or
<3, the extension can show suggestions and insert
the emoji you choose. That text matching happens in the browser on
the page where you are typing.
The extension also includes a small popup and a settings page. The popup can tell you whether Ezmoji is enabled on the current site, and the settings page lets you keep a blocked-sites list so the extension stays off domains you do not want it to run on.
What information Ezmoji stores
Ezmoji stores one category of user-controlled setting: your
blocked-sites list. Those entries are simple hostname rules such
as example.com or *.example.com. They
are saved using the browser storage API so the extension can
remember where it should stay disabled.
If the browser offers synced extension storage, those settings may be synced by the browser across devices connected to the same browser account. If synced storage is not available, the settings stay in local browser storage on that device.
What Ezmoji reads while you use it
To provide suggestions, Ezmoji reads the text immediately around the cursor in supported inputs, textareas, and editable fields. It uses that text locally to decide whether it should open the suggestion menu and which emoji entries match what you typed.
When you open the popup, Ezmoji also reads the URL of the active tab only far enough to determine the current hostname. That check is used only to show whether the current site is blocked and to let you block or unblock it quickly.
What Ezmoji does not collect
Ezmoji does not create user accounts. It does not ask for your name, email address, or payment information. It does not send your typed text, page content, blocked-sites list, or browsing history to a server controlled by Ezmoji. It does not include analytics, advertising, or a remote telemetry pipeline in the current code.
Ezmoji is not designed to sell personal information or use your typing activity for profiling.
When a third-party request can happen
Most emoji suggestions are rendered directly from data bundled with the extension. The one exception is flag emoji artwork. When a flag suggestion is shown, Ezmoji may request the corresponding SVG asset from the Twemoji files served through jsDelivr.
Like any normal asset request, that CDN may receive standard technical information such as your IP address, browser details, and the fact that the browser requested a flag image file. Ezmoji does not attach your blocked-sites list or other saved settings to that request.
Permissions explained
Ezmoji currently asks for storage so it can save your
blocked-sites settings, and activeTab so the popup can
inspect the current tab's hostname and let you toggle the site on
or off. The extension also runs a content script on web pages so
it can provide emoji suggestions where you type.
How long information is kept
Your blocked-sites settings stay in browser storage until you remove them, clear extension storage, or uninstall the extension. The text Ezmoji reads to provide suggestions is used in the moment and is not stored by the extension as a running history.
Your choices
You can stop Ezmoji from running on specific sites by adding them to the blocked list. You can remove those rules at any time from the settings page or from the popup. You can also disable or uninstall the extension through your browser's extension manager.
