I can't find setting for page encoding in Opera 42.
In previous version, it is in page sub menu.

It seems to be gone.

I also don't see it on Chrome and Vivaldi so probably it was removed from Chromium.

Makes me cry Being dev myself, I know that often we can't even fix some bugs - there are users, who rely on them; not talking about removing crucial features.

Yes, I haven't encountered wrongly encoded pages very often (last one was about week ago) - but need to fire IE or Fx to see their content correctly makes no sense to me.

Let me qoute one (IMO idiotic) reasoning from linked thread: " ... a lot of these pages where the encoding menu is being used are "old-school" desktop websites, they wouldn't rank very high on mobile search or even be a plausible hit for a mobile user story."

Opera devs, can't you have a bit higher reponsibility than just helping to kill "would not rank very high on mobile search" pages?

I have to agree with donq here though in the latest Opera versions I have been able to force pages that display incorrectly to display correctly by immediately forcing a refresh when the page finishes loading.
Must trip a "Try a different encoding" flag?
