A legit question. Why are you editing then?
Editing is not a requirement of enjoying photography. It can be a detriment.
You can enhance photos; sure, but you can also really mess them up.
Why not set the camera settings to your most commonly used (like camera standard, or landscape) and just enjoy shooting jpegs? There's a well respected photographer on the Nikon board who shoots strictly jpegs, and makes a career doing it. He relies on his finely tuned in-camera settings.
Or, shoot raw & jpeg. Save the raw for future use, if ever.
Trying to get consistency among displays and browsers is difficult at best. I have three computers I use, every one shows a picture differently. And yes, they are all calibrated. Doesn't matter.
I'd suggest, be conscious of using the camera controls properly. White balance is important, don't rely on "auto" (can give you a yellow tint at times), use daylight in daylight, use cloudy on cloudy/overcast days, and use incandescent and fluorescent as needed. Decide if you want "Landscape" "Portrait" "Vivid" "camera Standard" etc. Between these combinations, your color can be adjusted as you see fit for the shoot. That gets you 90% there.
