What color profile is used for the web?

Recently, I encountered the fact that the layout of the site does not match the colors that I used in the psd layout. They look dimmer, as if the site has been tinted slightly.
Naturally, this is visible to the naked eye, including the customer.
The layout designer says that this is due to the fact that I used the Adobe RGB color profile in the layout, but supposedly sRGB.
I googled, but all the articles are mostly 5-7 years old, where they say that for the web you need to use sRGB, although Adobe RGB has a much better quality, and arguing that most monitors are shitty, and to avoid such color differences, use sRGB only.
However, since that time, monitors and the web in general have changed a lot. Yes, and professional photos are now actively used in the production of sites, when a spectacular picture is placed on the full screen. This confuses me, do they still use such a narrow gamut of sRGB colors, or is it high time to switch to Adobe RGB?

The problem is not with monitors, but with browsers. They work in sRGB.

Breaking News: The following link will convince you that modern browsers support profiles.
Is Your Browser Color Managed?
Who has a yellow mustang - everything is ok, the browser respects ICC profiles in pictures.
Picture at the top of the Jeffrey's Funky RGB profile page, and if you change the profile to sRGB, the car will turn purple.
I got it all.

To be honest, I myself got confused with these profiles ...
Personally, I solved the problem for myself simply - I downloaded the color profile specifically for my monitor. Now when I receive a PSD from a designer, I simply switch the profile to my own.

A color profile "explains" to programs the properties of a physical display device. The AdobeRGB profile has a wider color gamut than sRGB. This means that the same pixel, say a moderately red "200,0,0" will be brighter on an AdobeRGB device. If it is then shown on an sRGB device, it will be dimmer. To save its color for the sRGB device, you need to convert the image (in the Shop - menu convert to profile). After this operation, the pixel value will become such that its color is the same on an sRGB device, by increasing the color saturation, like "220,0,0".

Monitors with full Adobe RGB coverage cost several thousand dollars. Ordinary ordinary monitors do not even come close to sRGB.
But it's not about monitors, it's about the fact that most browsers don't support color profiles in pictures.
