The rest of the world should. Yes sRGB is the default profile of the web but every browser on the market now extracts the embedded profiles from images for display. They should see the same image as you to the point where their hardware gives up and then the colours will lock at the nearest saturated value. Let them retard their hardware, don't retard yours to appease them

A far better approach would be to put your monitor into a native setting if it has one and then download the correct colour profile for it. Having wide gamut monitors retard their performance to match the working space of an image defeats the purpose of colour management.
The only profile your monitor should have is the one the manufacturer gave you or the one you've generated through the use of a calibration device.
