Frank, Most browsers can usually handle maths already. Certainly Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge for PC's laptops, Android and iPhone that I am aware of. The extensions are normally added to the server, so that it can supply the text in the appropriate form to the browser. I use the Wiki markup a fair bit on Wikipedia pages and a few physics and maths forums and once its setup, it is pretty transparent to the viewer of the page. On Linux it is a module texcv which is loaded and a few changes to the Wikimedia config files to enable it.
Most mathematicians/physicists tend to use Tex for maths markup because it is complete and conforms to the typesetting requirements of publishers and it was available back in the dark ages before anyone had heard of a markup language. I first used it around 1980 for a thesis. As the MathML markups are incorporated in a lot of wordprocessors these days that may change. MathML<->Tex converters are readily available. The Wiki Media setup seems to able to use both but I am not sure on that. David On Wed, 2018-12-19 at 18:40 +0100, Frank H.
