Description
I've seen that MathJax 4 includes support for Fira Math, which is great! I think sans-serif math is important for the web, because the web is predominantly in sans-serif fonts, and serif math stands out weirdly from that.
A suggestion: Consider also supporting Noto (Sans) Math. Noto is deservedly one of the most popular fonts on the web today (e.g. as a Linux user I see GitHub in Noto). Moreover, like the other Noto fonts, Math is available as a webfont from Google Fonts. Since about a year ago, it also has an OpenType MATH table which I assume would provide the metrics needed by MathJax?
