Is Charset safe?

Clean risk

This extension lets users manually set webpage character encoding when text appears garbled.

It restores a manual webpage encoding option that Chrome removed after version 55. Users can choose an encoding for incorrectly configured websites so page text displays with the intended characters. The store listing also links to the project’s GitHub source and change history.
