If you wished, you rather had a large bezel than the notch, go to System Settings > Displays > Alt+Click on a resolution > Show all resolutions, and select the one that is a little less high than your current one. Then the pixels left and right of your notch go dark.

https://crab.fit/ is an open-source solution. It has a different interface that is much more compact and convenient. I honestly love it.

This page looks like an accessibility nightmare. The entire warning text is an image. There is no transcription present for screen reader users. I did not expect this from a government website.

You can include arbitrary HTML tags in Markdown at any place you need them.[0] I am not aware of any Markdown tooling that does not support this.

There is XMPP. Messengers of Google and Facebook used it in the early days. From what I know, it failed for multiple reasons.

1. The various clients and servers implemented different subsets of the functionality, which deteriorated UX.

2. Service providers have an incentive to lock you in and the average user doesn't mind. So no one pushed for it.
