    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?
