Note that these are "Happy Eyeballs" implementations only the revised
document sense.  The original "Happy Eyeballs" specified an algorithm
for connection statistics and so on.  Niether Chrome nor Firefox
implements this.

Chrome and Firefox have "fast IPv4 fallback" when the destination is
an IPv6 address.  This can be considered "Happy Eyeballs", I believe,
under the new banner of the draft, which aims not to specify an
algorithm so much as a set of criteria for "how to have more
user-appealing behaviour than just trying all addresses serially".
