My understanding is that Chrome only supports the flags to use TLS, HTTP/2 and
HTTP/3; not the “use this target” data; but it’s been a while since I checked.
In particular if your domain isn’t in the HSTS preload lists then using this as
a signal to the clients to connect securely can be very helpful.
On macOS/iOS/etc you get the “full functionality”; depending on your client
base it can be a meaningful improvement over anycast IPs (or the proprietary
“alias” type features).
