Chrome has had regular src= playback of FLAC since M56 (ChromeOS had it prior to that). Chrome M57 included src= support for FLAC in MP4, using FFmpeg's implementation of the isoflac spec draft to demux. Firefox implemented support for both MSE and regular src= playback of FLAC in MP4 in version 51 (~January 2017).
