Disable Color Management like Chrome to maximize performance and having similar color display as Chrome.

By default, Firefox itself do all the Color Management, and of course it must cost extra CPU Usage, disabling it and rely on System Color Management like Chrome instead.

243-244: ⚠️ Potential issue

Consider the implications of disabling color management by default

While this change aligns with the PR objectives of optimizing performance and achieving color display similar to Chrome, it has significant implications:

1. It may improve performance by reducing CPU usage for color management.
2. It could provide a more consistent experience for users switching between Chrome and Zen.

However, there are some concerns:

1. Disabling color management might affect color accuracy, especially for users with color-calibrated displays or those doing color-sensitive work.
2. This change is based on a Reddit discussion, which may not be the most authoritative source for such a significant modification.

Recommendations:

1. Conduct performance benchmarks to quantify the actual performance gain.
2. Consult with color management experts or refer to more authoritative sources about the implications of this change.
3. Consider making this an optional setting rather than a default, allowing users to choose between performance and color accuracy.

To verify the potential impact, let's check if there are any existing color management related issues or discussions:
