<p>This plugin disables the new WordPress emoji functionality. GDPR friendly.</p>
<p>Note: Emoticons will still work and emojis will still work in browsers which have built in support for them. This plugin simply removes the extra code bloat used to add support for emojis in older browsers.</p>
<h4>GDPR compliancy</h4>
<p>This plugin does not do anything to make your site less GDPR compliant. It disables the DNS prefetching of emojis within WordPress, which should ensure improved privacy. To determine if your site is GDPR compliant, please seek legal advice. I have done my best to ensure the plugin is 100% GDPR compliant, but I am not a lawyer so can not guarantee anything 😉</p>

remove_action( 'embed_head', 'print_emoji_detection_script' );

No configuration needed. No ads. Does the job.

<p>Scalpel Source Code Cleaner simplifies your WordPress site by disabling several default features that may not be necessary for all users. By deactivating Gutenberg, the plugin reverts the editor to the classic TinyMCE, providing a more streamlined and traditional editing experience. Additionally, it removes inline styles, emojis, and media element libraries to clean up the source code, which can lead to improved performance and page speed.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Upon activation, Scalpel Source Code Cleaner will automatically disable the following functionalities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Gutenberg editor (falls back to the TinyMCE editor)</li>
<li>WordPress emoji library</li>
<li>Theme styles</li>
<li>Media element library</li>
</ul>
<p>It also provides additional CSS to style video elements appropriately. Ensure that your content does not depend on Gutenberg before deactivating it.</p>
