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.
