That's not how color management is meant to work. The color profile tells you how the data is saved. If you are displaying it using a different color profile, then it needs to be converted. Displaying P3 in sRGB is doing it wrong. How can you conclude Chrome "was not wrong"?

You can try. I'm on Safari Version 18.6 (20621.3.11.11.3) [Seqouia 15.6.1] on my Mac, unsure of the version in my iPhone and iPad, but all of them ignore the ICC profile.
Again, my suspicion is that you are actually seeing the ICC profile being applied correctly, and it is the pixel values in your image that are incorrect. A good test would be to run a single 100% sRGB red pixel through your image processing pipeline, and then inspecting the resulting PNG file in a hex editor to see what value is encoded.

Why does the page 404 when opening the image? Bandwidth issue? Firefox issue? (Yes, the username is a joke - I don't work for Firefox I just use it and thought this would be a funny name)
they wayback machine doesn't have a copy of https://lr0.org/i/2025-12-27_18-21-51_screenshot.png or i was going to link to it in the post here usually, i'd try to balance a blunt reply like this with they wayback version
cheers!

> If you are using Firefox or a Chromium browser (for me Google Chrome 143.0.7499.170), it's very likely that you are seeing a very foggy version of the painting, however, if you download the image and open it with your default image viewer (or open it in the Safari browser), you will see the image normally.

Given the Safari team has been the major driving force behind support for wide gamut in web browsers (for the very obvious reason that all Apple devices ship with wide-gamut displays), I am extremely suspicious of the author’s assertion that Safari is ignoring an embedded ICC profile while Chrome and Firefox are doing the right thing. I think it’s far more likely that whatever chain of open-source image modification…
What gets me is that the image he's publishing is not really a PNG kind of image.

Another good test page for the browser: https://www.color.org/version4html.xalter

It was a typo in the url, should have pointed to https://lr0.org/blog/i/2025-12-27_18-21-51_screenshot.png instead. I fixed it, thanks!

This might be true but I would hope the web standard is defined enough that browsers can also fail in the same way. Regardless of which browser is the most "correct" here
"correct" in fail, in the same way across browsers? that's hilarious. I forget that throughout the history of the internet the one thing we've been able to depend on is different browsers behaving the same way
other than the Manifest v3 fiasco, we're probably living in the golden age of web interop
