Wikipedia with MathJax

Renders Wikipedia equations with MathJax

Wikipedia with MathJax Chrome Extension

"Wikipedia with MathJax" is a Chrome extension that dramatically improves the viewing of mathematical equations on Wikipedia. Utilizing the open-source MathJax library, it replaces bitmap-encoded equations in Wikipedia articles with fully scalable HTML-CSS equivalents, allowing you to scale your view of the page without compromising equation quality. Additionally, it provides useful features such as instant equation zoom, a context menu with additional scaling options and the ability to view source TeX equations.

Works OK on it's own, but when combined with the "Dark Reader" extension, the formulas end up a different colour to the rest of the text, making it mostly unusable.
