| 2025-03-04 |  | | en | This is a unique and incredibly useful extension. It works flawlessly. I hope they find a way to update it to work after the recent Chrome update! |
| 2025-03-03 |  | | en | This extension is the greatest thing since sliced bread!!! Why is it being removed? What "best practice" could this possibly be violating? |
| 2024-12-10 |  | | en | So sad to learn that this extension will be removed. It's very convenient to be able to do latex equations in email with ease. Does anyone know of any replacement? |
| 2024-10-12 |  | | fr | est ce qu'on pourrait avoir une documentation , je ne comprends pas comment elle fonctionne même en cliquant sur l'icône , est ce que l'extension fonctionne avec la dernière version de chrome ? |
| 2024-09-19 |  | | en | I love this extension. I am really sad to learn it will be removed from chrome 😢 |
| 2024-08-17 |  | | en | This is my one of my favorite extensions, but recently I saw it on the list of future unsupported apps. Hope that this can be resolved. |
| 2024-04-25 |  | | es | Las cosas básicas funcionan, pero si quieres poner un color distinto o algunas funciones de formato no funciona cuando el servidor de imágenes está en "WordPress". Por ejemplo $$\frac{kJ}{{\color{Red}mol}}$$ no funciona Debes ir a opciones y seleccionar "Codecogs" |
| 2024-03-08 |  | | en | The message looks wonderful when writing the draft, but as soon as the message is sent, all LaTex equations disappear, leaving blank spaces where there should be maths... |
| 2023-03-19 |  | | en | It was okey but now not responding anymore... |
| 2022-07-20 |  | | en | 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. |
