| 2024-08-05 | Alexandra0056 | | I don't even know why Mozilla didn't put encoding options at least under preference, but fortunately this extension is great choice as replacement for that removed feature. I love archaic features so much, that I'm even using splitted reload and stop buttons, panorama tabs, additional toolbars and also spaces and separators. |
| 2024-08-01 | Alexander Lishansky | | Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but in my case, this addon never works: old encoding always stays, regardless of my choice of new encoding. |
