And tiff's are most common in image editing where CMYK is your preferred color space for color correction vs RGB.
RGB has a much wider and richer gamut, much of which can not be replicated in offset CMYK printing. Bright vibrant colors get muted dulled.
Modern browsers can display CMYK but there is no reason to do so as RGB is the format your monitor uses. You gain nothing and potentially lose quality and performance.
