About
CharSet Switch restores the manual webpage encoding control that Chrome removed after version 55. When websites are misconfigured and display garbled text (mojibake), this extension lets you manually select the correct character encoding. It supports 17 common encodings including UTF-8, GB2312, GBK, Shift_JIS, Windows-1251, and more. The extension remembers your preferences per domain and works completely offline. Perfect for accessing legacy sites, international content, or any page with encoding issues. One-click encoding fixes by AIO.com.aiRetry
