Simplifying a submenu by replacing it with a quick option that works in most cases is a great improvement, but removing the underlying feature that lets users select the text encoding manually is bad. There must be a good way to keep the menu bar simple while keeping the option.
Firefox already shows page-specific info in the left side of the address bar. There's usually a shield icon and a lock icon, and permission requests appear there too. Why not add an "encoding icon" that shows whenever the encoding repair feature is active? Such a marker would also be a great place to put a "override with custom encoding" menu.
