Synballo - is a web browser extension designed to be a comprehensive and convenient toolkit for accessing and managing a vast library of symbols. Launched in 2020, it was created to solve the limitations of existing applications that offered a small and often inconvenient selection of characters. The project’s goal is to save users time and facilitate communication by making a wide range of symbols easily accessible.
At the heart of Synballo is its massive collection of over 8,000 symbols and emojis. It’s compatible with popular browsers, available at 241 web stores and aims to provide a top-notch user experience. The extension syncs with your browser profile and is designed to run efficiently even on older operating systems, ensuring accessibility for a broad user base.
A key feature for user convenience is the automatic copy-paste functionality. When you click on a desired symbol, it is automatically pasted into the active text element. This works across a wide range of popular platforms.
Additionally, Synballo is designed to be super efficient and small. It is the smallest extension compared to its competitors and only loads into memory when it is actively being used. The moment you are done with it, the extension automatically unloads, ensuring it doesn’t consume unnecessary system resources.
Synballo’s primary purpose is to streamline the process of finding and using symbols. It includes handy features like filters for gender, skin, and hair, and it automatically manages a list of your recently used symbols. You have the option to expand the list of recently used symbols from the default 50 to up to 100.
Furthermore, a memory option allows you to save your last-used category instead of the “Recent” tab. This means the next time you open Synballo, it will automatically open to your chosen category, providing a more personalized workflow.
The extension is free to use, with updates and maintenance sponsored by user donations, which can be made via PayPal or cryptocurrency. It operates under a Creative Commons license, further emphasizing its commitment to being an open and accessible tool for everyone.
