Comment #6 on issue 18615 by mahaniok: change "default encoding" by default to UTF-8 in Linux http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18615
As it seems, majority of websites already use UTF-8 rather than 1-byte encodings; and those that don't, usually don't use special characters of Western encoding, so it won't hurt them. and as I know there is anyway some "lightweight" auto-detection of encoding going on so in special cases it will be overridden. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
