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.

Why does Chrome feel it's right to remove the set charset feature is beyond me, however, this extension works like a charm, many thanks!
thank you for your extension!
Congrat! It works as expected ! I don't know why Chrome doesn't add this feature but this plugin does the job.
Перезагружает страницу при смене кодировки!
can not change encoding mode
really simple and easy to use. thank you very much!
Conflict with web.archive.org captures overview page. Hope there'll be an update solving this problem.
Better than the original Chrome encoding tool (which Google stupidly removed)
В гугле разрабы ваще ахренели походу! Убрать смену кодировки из настроек - это абсолютный кретинизм!!! Из-за этой тупости приходится пользоваться сторонними расширениями. Set Character Encoding, к счастью, работает нормально.
テキストファイルを表示させたときに文字化けしてしまう場合に有効に使える。最近のChromeには表示のエンコーディングを切替える機能が無くなったので、その代替としてとても便利に使える。 Webページは文字化けしないよう正しく記述することがWeb制作者に求められるが、単なるテキストファイルを表示させる場合は、そのファイルのエンコーディング状況によって文字化けしてしまうことがある。そんなときにこの拡張機能が役に立つ。
