Comment (by mahrud):

 Not quite. Even if there is only one .onion alt-svc presented, sometimes
 after a few requests the browser seems to ignore the alt-svc and connect
 directly. I haven't read the code, but my guess is that this happens
 because the .onion takes a bit longer to load the first time. If that's
 the case the solution would be to force the browser to prioritize the
 onion route even if the first request took longer.


 On a tangential note: should the Circuit Display show the onion address
 used when connecting through an alt-svc? Currently it doesn't.
