Features & Capabilities

The Native MathML Chrome extension optimizes mathematical content display by forcing MathJax, KaTeX, and MediaWiki to use native MathML rendering where possible. It enhances webpage math presentation by injecting CSS stylesheets to reveal hidden MathML output generated by these popular math display libraries. Additionally, it adjusts MathJax 2 settings to prefer native MathML output.

For best visual results, it's recommended to install appropriate math fonts to complement this extension's improvements. This extension supports a variety of popular math-enabled sites including Wikipedia's MediaWiki pages, KaTeX official pages, MathJax samples, and math.stackexchange, ensuring a more native and accessible math rendering experience across the web.

Is Native MathML Safe?

Risk impact

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, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Native MathML requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

Native MathML has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
