These facts actually rather ask photographers and web designers to prepare their images accordingly, which means converting them into the sRGB color space. Programs like Lightroom, Apperture and Save-For-Web in Photoshop allow you to do this conversion easily on the fly when exporting for web-use. And otherwise it makes sense to just build it into an action. My final web-use-actions first convert the color-space to sRGB, then convert them to 8-bit, resize depending on the need/action and then sharpen for this specific size - all in one click. The users / clients / web-visitors see it as correct as it gets with their screen set-up.

With Safari it was correct and with Firefox not... guess I need to go and do some changes... How fun, it’s so true.
