Why do browsers not render pictures in native pixel density on retina display?

Why do browsers not render pictures in native pixel density on retina
display?

It seems to me that browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) on my retina
Macbook Pro do not render any pictures at native pixel density. For
example, when I open an image from google images and then download that
same image and open it in preview, that same image is smaller and more
dense in Preview than it is in my browser. This seems to suggest that
there is a discrepancy in pixel scaling between the two applications. Can
this be fixed for the browser?
