# GitHub System Emoji 😀

This is a Firefox extension that makes GitHub use the system emoji font on

Linux.

When browsing GitHub on non-Apple and Microsoft platforms GitHub performs image

replacement on emoji, replacing the text with mis-aligned images of the super

ugly Noto Color Emoji font. This extension alters the user agent to appear as

Windows when on GitHub so that it does not mess with the emoji and uses the

emoji font installed on your system.

## Screenshot

This screenshot shows the output before the extension is enabled and after

(where it uses my system emoji font, [JoyPixels](https://www.joypixels.com/)).
