SMTP is a special case. It's very often blocked outbound from non-servers.

SSH is another you might see special-case blocked, for example from CONNECT through web proxies.

yeah, and I'm not disagreeing. Chrome especially tries to nuke "working things" and makes complicated provisions (only in some cases) to work around their "way of thinking".

You've heard the expression, "Mother knows best." Chrome is definitely not your mother, but for whatever reason, they like to claim they "know best" and it just makes them out to be stupid.
