## Description

VB Disable Emojis is a lightweight performance plugin that completely removes emoji
support from WordPress.

It disables all emoji-related scripts, styles and integrations across the entire
site:
 – frontend – admin panel – TinyMCE editor – RSS feeds – emails

There are no settings, no configuration and no database writes.
 Activate the plugin
to disable emojis. Deactivate it to restore default WordPress behavior.

Perfect for websites where emojis are not intentionally used and performance overhead
should be minimized.

VB Disable Emojis is developed by VerBaste, a product brand of MATRO Digital Studio.
