It’s 2014. Why doesn’t Chrome support Emoji?

It’s 2014. Emoji is the standard emoticon format, widely supported on on Macs, Windows, iOS and Android.

In every browser, except Chrome.

Chrome, a browser which now has the highest usage share of any single browser, still does not display the color Emoji characters that are provided by Windows 8 or OS X natively.

I used to think Chrome and Safari might be tied for best browser on OS X - use whichever you preferred. Now I see that Apple is truly always going to have better integration and better support for their platform. It’s been two whole years now and Chrome can’t display Emoji without help? That’s just sad.

Note: Seems Chrome struggles on other platforms also, not just OS X.
