Apple 1705, allegedly. sRGB for web.
That says nothing as to whether you've had your screen profiled and calibrated, Cotty.
I downloaded the pictures to analyze them. You didn't embed profiles. In the Windows and Mac OS comparison images, on my calibrated screens (both the PBG3 and the iMac G4 20") the Windows image has overly bright highlights and good shadows where the Mac OS version holds the highlights but goes a little too deep on the shadows. If I change my system default ColorSync RGB profile to sRGB, the Mac OS version looks slightly better but still goes a little too deep on the shadow areas; the Windows version looks a little more glary bright on the highs.
If your screen was calibrated and you then output an file converted to sRGB with embedded sRGB profile, I would see virtually no shift in Safari as Safari always honors profiles. Without a profile, it's rendering your file relative to the screen calibration ... that's the best it can do.
