Bug Description
Starting from version 69.0.3497.81 Chromium browser stopped honoring IP version priority configured in /etc/gai.conf. I have the following entry there:
===
# For sites which prefer IPv4 connections change the last line to
#
precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100
===
Which should prioritize IPv4 over IPv6, but Chromium still uses IPv6 when available.

I found two upstream bugs that look related, but they seems to imply that the problem has existed for a long time, not a regression introduced by chromium 69:
