Actually the ultimate browser for color management is OmniWeb which is OS
X only. Not only does it use embedded ICC profiles like IE 4/5, but even
if profiles are not embedded in images, but my understanding is it will
assume sRGB for all untagged images. Therefore everything gets color
managed to the current display profile. The drawback is there is a
performance penalty for having to convert every single pixel in every
image. I personally would have preferred seeing Mac OS X go to a gamma
2.2 since an overwhelming use of computers these days is for browsing web
images which are predicated on a gamma 2.2; and an increasing number of
digital camera images use gamma 2.2 as well. For professional purposes,
all of the arguments for gamma 1.8 are moot since the applications used
utilize display compensation to compensate for any differences between
the tone response of the image and the display.
