It does not apply to late versions of Presto, where there was similar treatment of requests to various special-use addresses (after hostname resolution, if applicable) as to requests that result in TLS failures.

I believe, though it's been years since I dealt with this, that this caused various enterprise sites to stop working, many of which assumed they could access intranet hosts (which resolved to private IPs) from remotely hosted websites.

In any event lacking this feature is not evidence of a "leaky sandbox" in Chrome.
