Wikipedia with MathJax

Renders Wikipedia equations with MathJax

What is Wikipedia with MathJax?

"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.

Left-Click on equation to instantly zoom it to 200% (can be changed via MathJax menu).

Right-Click on equation to show MathJax's context menu with additional options, e.g. "Scale All Math..." to instantly scale all equations on a page, "TeX commands" to see the source TeX equation etc.

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.
