Yet another reason that I use Safari
Safari is currently the only web browser that does colour management, it uses a technology called webkit which allows it to display the colours as they are meant to be. Neither Firefox, Camino or Internet Explorer do this. Just to put it into perspective for you hear is a comparison:
As you can see it makes quite a deference. The colours are more more pronounced and they stand out far better. This is yet another reason that I use Safari

Firefox has color management technology but it’s not enabled and may not be for the next release. See, there’s a problem with it — even in Safari. Many thousands or millions of websites have optimized their images to match their other site colors, like background colors that seamlessly flow into image colors, and if we turned on support for other color profiles, many of those image colors would change, but the specified css and other colors on the page would not causing mismatches. For a browser like Safari that only has a few million users, that may be OK, but webmasters would scream if all of the sudden there were 100+ million Firefox users seeing their pages as “broken” by this.
