I was reading Demystifier's recent insight post, when I found that all the inline equations were overlapping with each other and were not quite readable:

While on PC it is quite easy to change the MathJax renderer, on mobile, it is not. You have to go on tapping and hope that the MathJax options come up.

Can the default MathJax renderer be changed to Common HTML, similar to what it is in the main forums?

Looks OK under Android 8.0.0 (both Chrome and whatever browser S7 uses as a default one).

Maybe it has to do with the larger text size on the OP's phone.

I changed the text scaling recently to about 150% from the previous 100%. It could be a result of that.
