One testcase: https://www.wide-gamut.com/test/image-hdr

• When HDR mode is disabled in the OS (the default):
  • (Chrome) Canary color-manages the image into SDR reasonably, though the site has an expected warning:

    It looks like your monitor or browser does not support HDR images :(
    The images below may not display correctly

  • Nightly shows the image as far too dark (likely bug 1793091), and has the warning.
• When HDR mode is enabled in the OS:
  • Canary displays HDR properly, without the warning
  • Nightly appears the same as when OS HDR mode is disabled.

Additional datapoint -- The same thing happens with HDR images drawn to a SDR <CANVAS> 2D, such as HDR .avif files (AVIF is also used at the test wide-gamut.com test case too)

e.g. Here's an HDR AVIF drawn to a canvas: https://beta.testufo.com/photo#photo=aces-spheres.avif&pps=960&scale=1

I test HDR content in the PotPlayer. It works fine if I enable this processing:
