Huh, I didn't realize that. Of course, I rarely use Chrome (usually only when I need Flash, which is thankfully almost never). I assume when going iOS -> macOS it hands the URL to your default web browser?

Unfortunately not, I believe because when handing off web links, you have to demonstrate to Apple that you own a domain to be allowed to link to it.

What that practically means is if I'm on ycombinator.com, iOS won't let Chrome, a 3rd-party app, claim to be representative of any page on that domain without proof hosted on the domain.

No, it only works between Chrome on Desktop and Chrome on iOS, and in my experience it's nowhere near as seamless as the one baked into Safari.

Apparently it actually works going from Desktop Chrome -> iOS Safari. I don't have Chrome installed on my iPhone, but if I have Chrome active on my desktop, Handoff will open the page in Safari.

It works both ways.
