History Prior to Google's addition of the .dev TLD to the HSTS preload list, it was common for web developers to create ad hoc addresses ending in .dev on their local networks for testing purposes. These local addresses would be created using either fake DNS servers or their own computer's hosts file and would not be accessible to the wider internet. However, after .dev was added to the HSTS preload list, most modern web browsers began refusing to load .dev websites unless they were served over secure HTTPS connections, thereby causing most of these local testing environments to stop functioning.Koopersmith Daryl 28 November 2017 Use a .dev domain?
