Note for Firefox users - view the page in Chrome to see more of what they are talking about. I was very confused by some of the images, and it was a world of difference when I tried again in Chrome. Things began to make a lot more sense - is there a flag I am missing in Firefox on the Mac?

Can confirm on Windows 11 with HDR enabled on my display— I see the photos in the article correctly on Chrome and they're a grey mess on Firefox.

On macOS even without HDR enabled on my display there's a striking difference due to better tone mapping between Safari and Firefox.

If I enable HDR the Firefox ones become a gray mess vs the lights feeling like actual lights in Safari.
