- Chrome for Testing releases are built with `is_official_build` + `is_chrome_for_testing_branded`.
- Regular Chrome releases are built with `is_official_build` + `is_chrome_branded`.
- Chromium builds usually have none of these GN args set.

Any features conditional on `is_chrome_branded` are thus not supported in Chromium nor in CfT.
