windows 7 - Pages stuck in google chrome

    I have a very strange problem, sometimes when i'm using facebook the page can suddenly freeze up completely it means I can not click on anything or scroll, all other tabs in Chrome works fine, restarting chrome does not help, this also happens to other pages.

    The odd thing is that if I close Chrome and opens Firefox and enter facebook.com sign in so the page is fully loaded (Firefox works fine on facebook), then open chrome then goes to facebook and the page loads fine and works like usual, this solves the problem every time facebook is stuck in chrome.

    How can I debug this, I have no idea on what to do.

    ubuntu - Firefox or Chrome - how to force a specific encoding for a page
  • Mike

    I am accessing an intranet site built by amateurs, that was constructed to be "best viewed by IE" (arghhh!). The site is in portuguese. All accented letters are jammed and do not appear as they should. As I create sites myself, I know that the best way to build a site in portuguese and other latin languages is to use the "charset=iso-8859-1" on the page's HTML encoding. This will ensure cross-browser and platforms compatibility.

    But I have no way to change this, because I am a visitor on this site.

    I don't know the encoding they are using. What I ask is: is there a way I can force my browser (Chrome or Firefox) to recode the page using the correct charset? I need this to work on Ubuntu.

    In Firefox click View->Character Encoding there you can select quite a few options for the encoding.

    Otherwise you could use a greasemonkey script to accomplish this. There are quite a few for various sites on userscript.

    In Chrome, click on the little file icon (near the top right), and select one of MANY encodings from the Encoding menu. (Same idea as what was mentioned for Firefox.)
