I would add that, in a non-color-managed browser, the RGB numbers are sent
directly to the display without any intermediate transforms. On the other
hand, the monitor has a color profile activated for it (in Mac OS X, in the
System Preferences -> Displays -> Color panel), which can be either a
default one created by the system on the fly or a custom one created by the
user.
So, what you see in your browser if it's *not* color-managed is exactly what
you would see in Photoshop if you opened the image(s) (without converting
upon opening) and *assigned* the monitor profile to it/them.
