Disable gzip compression in chrome

Chrome doesn’t seem to expose this setting, but what you can do is the following:

• get the ModHeader plugin for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/modheader/idgpnmonknjnojddfkpgkljpfnnfcklj?hl=en (or any other that allows you to fiddle with your browser request headers)
• set a new custom header accept-encoding to either:
  • an empty value or
  • gzip;q=0,deflate;q=0 either should work
