Show the character encoding of a document/frame along with their source (HTTP, html meta or auto-detection) |
|||
Issue descriptionThe encoding menu was completely removed. It served two purposes: 1) to show what the current encoding is 2) to let users override the encoding. These days, I rarely come across a page with garbled contents due to misconfigured encoding declaration or misidentification of character encoding. So, I get my fingers crossed that there will be no need for #2. As for #1, it's still necessary for web page debugging and browser testing, but it's rather developer-oriented feature. I propose (I did propose at one of meetings regarding the encoding menu removal) that the character encoding of a document (or frames/iframes) be shown in the DOM Inspector along with the information on how it's determined (http C-T header, html meta or autodetection).

Is there any concrete plan to get this done?

There are extensions that bring the encoding menu back, e.g. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/set-character-encoding/bpojelgakakmcfmjfilgdlmhefphglae

It seems that the extension is not available on Android Chrome. I previously reported issue 710861 and six months have passed. I wonder issue 597488 and 244358 should be reopened. |
