en 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.

en What is there in this extension that would not theoretically work in Chrome versions earlier than 125? (minimum_chrome_version: 125) We are not considering forks and popular Chrome modifications that do not have a manic chase for updates with increasing versions. Are we preventing them from installing this extension?

ko 안녕하세요. 언제부터인지 모르겠는데 디코딩 적용이 불가한데 크롬 버전 때문인지 사유를 알 수 있을까요? hello. Since I don't know when, I can't apply the decoding, can you tell me if it's because of the chrome version?
