Some people get all defensive about how their favorite browsers can do the old functionality that they don't understand I'm talking about something new that as of a month ago, wasn't in any browser except Firefox 3.6.
It didn't sound like Chrome or Opera had anything close or out at the time. I tried to look at Opera's latest beta, as it supposedly has some advanced tech in it, but had WAY many problems -- first downloading the beta -- their download page was all messed up, with the beta pointing to a deleted version (x.50b replaced with x.50b1), and when not working kept defaulting back to released x.10 version...had to look at their source code to get a valid download link.
Then upon downloading, they didn't have a exe install -- it was an exe->.msi that wouldn't execute "can't find .msi file"...even though it would extract it -- so having it open, I copied the .msi file to another location to execute it.
Then it wouldn't install due to some incompatibility with my version of the windows installer. At that point I gave up. Never got to try Chrome -- no knowledge of an advanced SVG version nor anything with color management int it.
I also read that none of the other browsers even attempt to deal with color reproduction of tagged images on the web. Unforunately FF took a step backwards there in 3.5 when they went from lcms to qcms and broke icc-v4 support -- but they still have icc-v2 support -- better than nothing, but sadly lower than v4.
Color management does apply to SVG images as well, BTW. Does inkscape use lcms? or rather does it handle v4 profiles.
