> 1. Colin: Any idea of plan or roadmap for when other browers will support HE V2?
> 2. Colin: browsers :-)

> 3. Christian Bretterhofer: can we persuade to get a browser plugin to switch from happy eyballs to ipv6 only and back?

That is correct. But so far no protocol override has been implemented in any browser.
