SimpleEditorFree is a versatile plain text editor designed for editing a wide range of file types such as TXT, XML, HTML, CSS, and SVG. It allows users to create, open, modify, and save files with various encodings, providing essential features like search and replace, undo up to 20 changes, and automatic encoding detection.

This extension supports handling large files (over 1 GB) efficiently in reading mode and includes a handy list of recently opened files for quick access. Additional functionalities include the ability to send file contents via email or SMS and voice typing for ease of input. Users should note that opening large files in edit mode may cause delays, and some binary files might not display correctly due to encoding limitations. The free version offers 33 encoding options to cover most use cases.

Useful app, but sometimes buggy. For example whilst you are typing somewhere in the middle of the file, the screen moves to the end of the file, this happens periodically in the same session.

Allows me to browse file structure and change where I'm looking at and saving my files. No ads as of yet which is a huge Plus!
