Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Right-click at somewhere on web page to manually set character encoding. The selected character set will automatically apply to all pages on the same site. Select "Use page default" to cancel it. This extension modifies http response headers to override original character set, so when installing Chrome will say "it can read and change all your data on the websites you visit". Just let it go because that is exactly how it works.

Starting from V0.4, it supports changing encoding of local files, but you need check 'Allow access to file URLs' in extension manage page.

Starting from Chrome 72, old versions will stop working because new Chrome requires extensions to request for extra permission to modify response header. Please use V0.51 or later.

To anybody who reports "not working", please share the URL of the page that is not working. We will try our best to make it work for you.

该扩展似乎在服务器端添加 add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always; 设置后,会导致 js 响应类型错误

対話型生成AIが勧めてきたので試しましたが、役に立ちませんでした。 https://toyoda.tv/hokekyo.htmの資料が文字化けしており、こちらの拡張機能を使って直そうとしましたが、直りませんでした。 Shift-jis以外の文字です。

文字化けしたWEB上で右クリックすればパッと変換できます。 まだあまり使ってないですがけっこう便利です。

It changes the encoding well and works OK. However I had to disable this extension because Chrome does not show images JPG, PNG from localhost, such as http://localhost/image.jpg, and displays the hexadecimal dump of the image file instead. When I disable *Set Character Encoding*, images are presented correctly.

Used for many many years. Thanks for the convienience it gives. Selecting UTF-8 on latest version may mislead Chrome into thinking some JS resources were text/html (instead of application/x-javascript explicitly returned by the server), preventing Chrome from loading the resource; I wonder if this can be fixed. Unluckily I'm unable to share the URL because it's currently only reproduced on an internal corporate page.

What is there in this extension that would not theoretically work in Chrome versions earlier than 125? (minimum_chrome_version: 125) We are not considering forks and popular Chrome modifications that do not have a manic chase for updates with increasing versions. Are we preventing them from installing this extension?
