That is correct, the IPv6 probes are embedded in the Chromium source, and are removed by the Ungoogled Chromium and/or Inox patchset [1].

How do they handle "enterprise" proxies that ban direct internet access? I probably should setup that at home.

Chrome itself always requests HTTP first, except for HSTS and their own pinned certificates list which is actually shipped within the source code.

That's also a major difference to Ungoogled Chromium, where UC will request "https://..." by default if you just enter the domain.

So in the case of Enterprise Proxies that have no locally force-installed cert to sniff on internet traffic will likely end up with HTTP-everywhere being used. But usually employers that encourage such bad practices also install their snakeoil MITM certificates locally.
