Summary: Early Hints is an informational status code allowing servers to
send headers likely present in the final response. Early Hints is
enabled in nightly and beta since version 111. We're now experimenting
with Early Hints preconnect in release version 117 since 2023-09-18 and
expect to roll out afterwards. Early Hints preload will be experimented
and rolled out separately afterwards.
