switch to another tld

It seems that .dev is an official gTLD and Chrome will soon force https if I understood this correctly.

So it might be be to switch to another tld (alone to avoid conflicts).

EDIT: here is another good article that explains the topic a bit better and recommends .localhost, .invalid and .test and .example more or less for different purposes. But I guess in the end it doesn't matter and depends on personal taste.

Yeah, I guess :(

Prax handles other TLDs transparently, so we may use .localhost or configure dnsmasq to resolve *.test as 127.0.0.1 as well as *.localhost to 127.0.0.1 (it doesn't hurt); sadly .hostname.local won't resolve subdomains.

We should change the default .dev to either one, thought.

BTW: chrome won't consider myapp.test or myapp.localhost as URL and will issue a search by default, despite their bundled DNS resolver resolving .localhost as 127.0.0.1 by itself. We must specify http://myapp.test or myapp.test/... seriously, they **** big time.

A bug has been filed for the ".test"/".localhost" URL bar searching behavior: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=794001
