It may be my work proxy and/or ad-blocking extensions, but I frequently have issues with Chrome choosing the wrong character encoding with pages on tomshardware.com, resulting in a page full of gibberish, like this:

Reloading the page always fixes the problem. Anybody else have this issue?
- r1ch 9y agoThat looks more like you're getting raw gzip content - perhaps your proxy is messing with the Accept-Encoding headers or trying to ungzip content for inspection and somehow messing it up.
- hedora 9y agoNo, but my phone ad blocker (?) kills all the figures, and with it disabled, I get page hijacking ads about 10% of the time, figures 10% of the time, and ads where there should be figures 80% of the time. I can read about half the page before the ads stop loading. Basically, this site is completely unusable for me. It is a shame, since the article's text does not stand up on its own, and I used to like Tom's Hardware.
