Summary

Analyze keywords

With Google Chrome and Pow I often forget to add the slash ('/') at the end of the URL and Chrome tries to search the web for the text of the URL instead of going to the URL.
This extension forces Chrome to treat .dev domains as valid domains.

Check 'Allow in incognito' if you want it to apply to incognito browser sessions: chrome://extensions

Totally unuseful in case of custom TLDs. Developer won't even reply to requests.

Ich nutze privat mit meinem eigenen DNS Server *.dev Domains. Da Google Chrome sich über die Betriebssystemeinstellungen hinweg setzt, und einfach seine eigenen DNS Server als erstes befragt, bekam ich für meine lokalen *.dev Domains die IP Adresse 127.0.0.53 zurück, was lt. ICANN auf eine Name Collission hinweist, dank der neuen gTLD. Leider hat Google jetzt auch das Flag zum deaktivieren dieses Features aka Asynchronous DNS entfernt.
