The math renderer was changed/updated recently but it looks much worse than the previous version.

First off, it takes much longer to fully render; before it does it looks like this, which is small and hard to read:

Then when it does fully render, it's quite blurry:

Try this: visit https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/tree/2.7.9/fonts/HTML-CSS/TeX/otf , install all fonts, and restart your browser (if this does not work, try restart computer).

This may help until the next change of math renderer.

An alternative solution is: left-click on math to select it → right-click on it → select "math settings" → select "math renderer" → select "SVG".

    I tried this; it does improve the visuals somewhat, but it still takes way too long to render, and some font styles (e.g. bold) are still blurry

    The current workaround I'm going with is to switch the math renderer to SVG mode and to increase the browser zoom slightly to 110%.

You can just right click on a math equation and change it from Math Settings->Math Renderer

Please, check it now. Probably, you would need Ctrl+F5 to reload without caching.
