Just tested a NomadBSD (FreeBSD 14.x) image, and its firefox shows
HTTP/2 on https://cloudflare-quic.com/ then switches to HTTP/3 on
reload, so it's not a Linux vs BSD thing...

On NetBSD cloudflare is diligently setting the alt-svc header to
something of the form h3=":443"; ma=86400 so it's not withholding
http/3...
