Yes, but why? I would say 99% of users don't look at math in the browser in their daily life. MathJax is doing a fantastic job here.
The biggest benefit of using things like MathJax: Predictable and similar results in all browsers. Just think about fonts and spacing for example.
MathML rendering support is and was broken when looking at all browser vendors.
What needs more browser support in all browsers are other things like JPEG XL.
- abhinav22 6y agoMathJax should be implemented directly within Browsers vs a slow JS package. However to answer your question, I separate MathML from MathJax. MathML is a data model for math, MathJax is a renderer - both should co exist and complement each other. Most other vendors are supporting MathML, Chrome by not supporting it, has pushed it away from being a standard.
- runarberg 6y agoI think once the standard is fully implemented across browsers authors will be able to define a font-family and the results should be visually similar in all browsers. I think this is preferable to authors in case they want a specific font family that matches the overall design. As an example take a look at my doc page for MathUp[1] in firefox (which supports MathML natively). I am able to use Libertinus as my main font family and compliment it beautifully with Libertinus Mono for code samples and Libertinus Math for the math samples. 1: https://runarberg.github.io/mathup/ https://runarberg.github.io/mathup/
