Particularly beneficial for sites that are configured incorrectly, the extension ensures accurate translation of encodings, hence preventing the presentation of scrambled text. Open-source on GitHub, Charset has been regularly optimized with new versions to improve user experience and compatibility with browser updates.

Due to the low frequency of use, Google Chrome removed the ability to manually set the webpage encoding after version 55. However, on some websites that are configured incorrectly, the new browser cannot accurately determine the encoding used, which causes the website to display garbled characters.
