Set Character Encoding
Provide right-click menu to manually set character encoding for web pages.
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.

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.
when I covert to UTF-8, all \n are missing, why?
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?
最新几个版本chrome无法使用 错误： Context menu updated 3bg.js:119 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Error in invocation of declarativeNetRequest.updateDynamicRules(declarativeNetRequest.UpdateRuleOptions options, optional function callback): Error at parameter 'options': Error at property 'addRules': Error at index 0: Error at property 'id': Invalid type: expected integer, found number. at onClickHandler (bg.js:119:44)

2023 год. Браузер Lemur, андроид Q, работает отлично. Спасибо разработчику!
wheres ISO-8859-1 ?
ごく稀に変になるところで使えるので助かっています。 ただ「Internet Archive Wayback Machine」の日時選択が表示されなくなるなど若干のバグがあるようなのでそこだけ要注意です。
Good, just that some webside have locked the right-click function which prevent us from using this extension. hope there's an alternative way to change the encording.

The extension results in the below error when accessing Oracle Cloud Console. Unexpected Error Something went wrong. Please try again later. Removing or disabling this extension fixed the issue. I noticed this behavior with one more extension : EditThisCookie Disabling both this Extension EditThisCookie Set Character Encoding fixes the issue. Observed this in Latest chrome version.

これはChromeには標準で備わっておくべき機能ですが、無いのでとても重宝してます。昔ながらのサイトを表示するときには自動でエンコードしてくれるところが便利。
Thank you!!! It works perfectly for Korean (EUC-KR)

サイトへのアクセスを「すべてのサイト」に設定しているとGmailが機能せず一時的なエラー表示になることがあるので、使うとしたら「クリックされた場合のみ」にしておいたほうが良い。
F***ing google inc., they removed encoding selecting tool from chrome when I was sleeping. However NO PROBLEM, I found 'Set Character Encoding', a fantastic extension which enable me to select encoding in a page. It was a miracle. He cured all my pages' wrong-encoding problem. He is my Messiah.

对ftp文件系统无效
Версия Хрома 69. Расширение не работает. В контекстном меню данного пункта для смены кодировки нет.
перестало работать больше года назад, все надеялся, что починят, но видимо не судьба
Thank you, guys!
