Following some discussions during #IETF last week (in the hallway and on various mailing lists), the awesome #IPvFoo extension now shows in Mozilla #FireFox if connections used H1, H2, or H3, not just IPv4-vs-IPv6! This is helpful for seeing how that angle of Happy Eyeballs works.
(It would work in the Chrome version as well but the interface for getting at this info is broken and always returns H1.)
Note that if the connection starts with H2 but then switches to H3 for later objects on the hostname (eg, if you have an Alt-Svc record) then it will show H3 rather than H2.

@nygren@hachyderm.io I really prefer the extended functionality that the "IPvFooBarBaz" fork brings on top of the original, my hope is to both merging functionality at some point. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ipvfoobarbaz

@nygren@hachyderm.io oh neat, I noticed it even detects when nat64 is used.
