It gets worse, it's not just video rendering - Chrome (used to?) use a different color profile than all other browsers, making the same CSS values brighter than the other browsers. It was different enough that our designer could see something was wrong just glancing at my Firefox window while walking past behind me.

I can't find the original bug report (this was around 2018 and it was already pretty old, like 5+ years), but at the time they were refusing to fix it even though the choice of color profile went against the CSS spec.

Edit: Because Chromium, not Chrome. Came right up just switching to that, the bug report was from 2010, and from the recent comments looks like it's still an issue:

The original page I remember from back then, linked from above: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=44872&...

Hard agree, and you’d think white and black would work best, but then there’s the legacy black levels / white levels thing alluded to at the end of OP’s article...
