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?
Seems not to work as of June/July :( Thanks Google.

Have an issues, for example when we select utf-8 in chrome the character - is displayed as – but is displayed correctly in FF, I am using: Chrome Version 71.0.3578.98 (Official Build) (64-bit)
doesn't work with content which is not text/html Sometimes makes the page look odd
doesn't work with content which is not text/html
doesn't work anymore
Don't works on local (saved) files
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.
when I covert to UTF-8, all \n are missing, why?
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.
This page show characters inconrrectly, and your app can´t solve it. https://unity3d.com/2d/solution-guide Marcos
Doesn't seem to work any more, there's no longer a context menu
71.0.3578.98 version isn't useful
Incompatible with Flash
Short version: Doesn't work on local files. Period. Works on websites otherwise. Long version: I got this extension explicitly for the local "WYSIWYG-compatible" HTML files I make for my stories (for my writing). These generally don't have <head> tags or the like, but up until recently, this generally didn't seem to be a problem for Chrome. Not sure what changed or when, but now, my HTML files are giving me garbage. (Guess Chrome's auto-detection needs work...) Unfortunately, as I found out from reading the Support tab for this addon... it was not designed... in any way, shape, or form... for local, offline files. That beig said, the addon is completely useless to me. However, the addon DOES work exactly as promised on live websites, so it DOES do what it says it does. Just... not in the way I want it to. Maybe some day, Google will fix auto-encoding or make UTF-8 the default when there's no information available. In the meantime... I guess I'll have to find a different solution to my problem... which is a darn shame, honestly... This is a really nice-looking addon.
