As far as web images is concerned, the browser also has to support
colour management. I only know of two that do (they use ColorSync).
One of those was discontinued long ago.
The best advice when saving for web is to convert to sRGB. Saving it
with an embedded profile is almost pointless, but I'd like it if you
did because I'm one of the few who can benefit (along with anyone who
goes through the inconvenience of saving the pic and opening it in
Photoshop).
FWIW I found "save for web" tends to result in a much smaller file as
I have better control of what goes into it. Most of my web pics are
about 600x400 pixels, and average about 60 or 70kb (the range is
pretty wide as it depends heavily on content). And I'm usually quite
fussy, using the 4-up view at 200% magnification.
