Json – Chrome Devtools showing gzip response in HEX

For some reason Chrome devtools started to show requests with gzip content in a HEX editor view like on response tab. That’s very annoying… is there a way to disable this view and show plain text/json data?

I search in the devtools options something related but found nothing. I would like to see the data in preview or response tab as plain text/json like.

    I don’t know whether this is a bug or some chrome settings needs to be changed. Please help us if someone knows.

    But meanwhile I would like to share a hack around this.
    You can right click on the request and copy the response.

    There should be a dropdown in the bottom of the "Response" tab that allows you to view the response as utf-8 and base64 as well.
