Different image viewer shows different color (brightness?) of jpg image

Question

I'm not sure if I should ask this question here or not. I've some images, that have a problem, as the screenshot below shows:

The softwares are as following (left to right, top to bottom):
[qimgv] [gwenview] [gnome image viewer]
[chromium] [okular] [firefox]
I was expecting to see the result like the top left, and the middle bottom version, but when I uploaded it to browser, It shows me the lighter version. I had never encountered the problem like this.
Link of the raw image is https://drive.google.com/file/d/1plym6I93F93NP74QnUOn6g8Rgj_2dorp/view?usp=sharing
(when I open the image on my android phone, firefox give the darker version, chrome give the lighter version)

The image has an ICC profile embedded which doesn't seem to be fully defined.
If you compare the ICC information of your image with that of another one you see that there are some fields missing. Perhaps that's why different viewers handle the image differently?
This answer at Stackoverflow explains how you can remove the embedded ICC profile from your image, after which I expect the image to be shown with the same brightness regardless of the software.
