I used to be a Microsoft Windows XP user and it took me fucking ages before I finally decided to switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox. But it opened my eyes... When I moved on to Mac, the first thing I did was installing my beloved Firefox, browsing the Internet for hours. Firefox was the one and only future, and most of all: it was free. Easy to use, never crashing, I fell in love with it and we started a passionate love affair. I was faithful and promised myself not to ever use any other web browser.

That was until today. Today I realised that my beloved Firefox is actually a stoopid piece of software that does not understand embedded color profiles, in three words it simply: fucks them up.

After spending about four hours calibrating my screen and reading about color profiles, I have come to realise that as much as I used to adore and cherish Firefox, maybe it is time for me to move on... and give Safari a try. :blush:

For all of you mac users that will not get convinced by this revelation, go have a look at this: WEB BROWSER COLOR MANAGEMENT Tutorial. Found it really useful and it made me realise why so many pictures look desaturated/washed out when viewed with web browsers such as Firefox, Camino etc. As for the others, well go check it out too. Because I said so. :aww:


I'm sorry Firefox, you served me well but all good things come to an end. :heart:
