Haotian Wei (ID: 000000d26cfbbfc5) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/19/2023 It was okey but now not responding anymore...

Yang Liu (ID: 000000295a5a1441) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/20/2022 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.

Manu Upadhyay (ID: 0000001116a199b8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/25/2022 Renders the equations beautifully!

Nadav Goldstein (ID: 0000004eedcea847) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/25/2021 The best chrome extension out there! Super useful.

Xujia Chen (ID: 000000e2dd77e329) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/12/2021 Greatest extension ever. Have been using it over the years and in most cases it works beautifully. Occasionally it doesn't display for the receiver who probably uses an unusual mail reader, but that is quite rare.
