Comment 12 for bug 298894

@individ:

removing the favorite hub encoding preference option isn't a good idea, no. I agree that the naming is difficult. But I think at least I would prefer the checkbox behavior, and after a hub has been "favorited" the checkbox would be unchecked by default (i.e. not overriding the default encoding). Maybe even graying out the list of char encoding alternatives until the user checks the override checkbox.

The obvious alternative is to keep it as it is and just change the wording of the fav-pref-encoding option from "Global hub default" to maybe "Follow default preference" or "Follow preferred encoding" or something. But like I said, my vote is with the checkbox thingaling.
