--- Comment #5 from Alexey Proskuryakov <ap at webkit.org> ---
Safari picks a default encoding based on user's primary language. On the Mac, there is a preference to change the default, and a menu option to override the encoding for the current page. On iOS, it's not configurable at all.

This gnome changelog page isn't displayed correctly in Firefox for me, it uses a Cyrillic encoding of UTF-8. I can't even figure out why - I don't see a preference for that anywhere, so perhaps they are falling back on system language's encoding too.

A funny observation - the page only displays correctly if I choose Japanese auto-detection, not if I choose Russian or Ukrainian.
