Safety

Risk impact

TeX for Gmail requires some risky permissions and may not be safe to use. Exercise caution when installing this extension. Review carefully before installing.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Risk likelihood

TeX for Gmail has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.

Amazing extension and exactly what I wanted for such a long time! One thing I would not have imagine is that the rendered inline TeX equations are horizontally ALIGNED with the rest of the text, which is a MAGIC solution to writing TeX commands in any mails. One suggestion to improve this TeX4Gmail solution for high-dpi (which is a wide-spreading trend, 2K on mobiles/PCs and 4K on desktops) is fetching images of 600% scale factor (from CodeCogs or WordExpress) and downscaling it correspondingly. I did it by customizing the downloaded extension and adding an additional option of "upscaling 600% and downsizing to fit the text". It's a pity that Gmail has not support SVG even in 2022, where almost all other browsers (web and clients) have supported as shown here https://www.caniemail.com/features/image-svg/. Otherwise, this extension could be easily adapted to support rendering SVG format of TeX for Gmail, which is the ultimate solution I am looking forward to.
