Hello. I installed this addon as a replacement to previous addon I had because it actually allows me to set a default encoding for pages that don't have a default encoding set up and end up displaying incorrectly on Windows machines because it uses UTF-8 encoding (typically text files have this issue a lot). But I learned that it ignores the encoding set by HTML tag <meta charset="utf-8" /> where the encoding used in the charset can be whatever. I've set the default encoding to UTF-8, because that's what's mostly used, and Google Chrome on Windows defaults to Windows-1250 (Central Europe) I guess, which isn't ideal if the page isn't configured properly. However, I'd like to keep the charset on the page as defined and not get overwritten by my default encoding. Most pages get unaffected, because it uses the same encoding (UTF-8), but some pages use different encoding, which may be like Windows-1250 or ISO-8859-2 (both Central Europe languages). Right now, it ignores the encoding set by page and displays the page in wrong encoding, which makes the text corruped.
