No. The browser will search for credentials to send. Failing to find any
from its credentials cache or the OS it will do a popup and ask you to
enter them.

That is of course assuming that the 407 reply from Squid is received
back correctly. The error message implies that nothing at all was
received back. This could be true or one of Chromiums so-called
"friendly" error pages hiding an actual message from Squid.

Is there any Squid log info to indicate the request is even getting to
Squid? or what is happening once it does?
