wp-emoji-release.min.js still downloaded + huge emoji in embed

Hello, I’ve installed the plugin in the hopes of not seeing wp-emoji-release.min.js ever again.

I installed it and activated the plugin and as far as I saw that’s it, it should work.

However, I still see the wp-emoji-release.min.js file being downloaded :/
I’ve cleared all my minified files and cache both on the server and the CDN. Still doesn’t work.

Any suggestions/insights?

The second topic is emojis in the embed of a link preview. For some reason they are HUGE. I saw this topic which I’m not sure if it was resolved or not: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/wp-4-9-8-plugin-v1-7-2-not-working-on-embed-version-of-posts/

It acts that way only on desktop (mobile is ok), and also not on all browsers. It looks like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a8pn9rq5446beyj/huge%20emojis%20in%20embed%20preview.jpeg?dl=0

Any suggestions on that as well? Was the issue I linked to resolved in the past?
