Re: Intent to implement and ship: UTF-8 autodetection for HTML and plain text loaded from file: URLs

This seems reasonable, but 50M is a pretty large number. Given the odds of UTF-8 detection failing, I would have thought that this could be much lower. What is the number in Chrome? I assume that other local sources like chrome: are expected to be annotated properly. On Mon, Dec 10, 2018 at 11:2

Intent to implement and ship: UTF-8 autodetection for HTML and plain text loaded from file: URLs
