Google Chrome can't access localhost domains

I finally found a solution to this. Go to chrome://flags and set "Built-in Asynchronous DNS" to "Disabled", then restart the browser.

This allows all local domains to be accessed. Looks like DNS was just choking up the issue.

Plagiarizing from Louie Bertoncin's answer on Chrome: how to stop redirect from http:// to https://--

My problem came from having a .dev domain, which was apparently recently registered as a [generic top-level-domain] and put in a commit to Chrome Canary. I found this out from a recent post I came across as I searched for my problem.

If you have the same problem I do, it appears that the best solution is to change your domain to be something other than .dev. The article suggested .test with a potential solution of .localhost later down the road (via this proposal).

The solution is this one. Go to chrome Settings -> Advances settings -> Privacy

And uncheck all options except this: "Protect you and your device from dangerous sites"

Will work !
