Officially, you can insert equations into your website using
MathML. Unfortunately, Google Chrome does not support this, so it
does not work. I uploaded my MathML page to my website, and you can
try it out.

A URL that seems to work better for those of us outside your network ;-)
is this one:
http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson/MathML.html
I'll note that the browsers I had handy were Firefox and Chrome; I
concur with your comments on the handling of the quadratic equation.
Those results are not extraordinarily surprising. The one I'd wonder
about is Safari; I would assume it doesn't support it.
There is an interesting list of browser support for MathML.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathML
Apparently, at one time Opera *did* support it. The set of other
browsers that do have support are largely Mozilla derivatives. (e.g. -
ones like Camino, Galeon, Netscape (which was where Mozilla came from)).
The one other interesting one (in being "not like the others") is Amaya.
https://www.w3.org/Amaya/ I'm quite surprised that they had a release
as recently as 2012; I hadn't seen that one in YEARS!!! :-)

I've managed to get in rendering in Chromium but not Chrome on version
84 which is the lastest chromium for Ubuntu. Thanks for mentioning
it through as its a pain to write certain math in a web browser.
The only nit is it seems that the Tex versions render better for
complex equations in terms of being similar to an actual textbook:
https://mdn.mozillademos.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/MathML_Project/MathML_Torture_Test$samples/MathML_Torture_Test?revision=1506691
If your trying to make it readable you may want to use something
that can render it in Tex like the mentioned MathJax if I recall
correctly.
Cheers,
Nick
