Chrome redirects .dev to https

Question

Suddenly Google Chrome redirects my virtual-host domain myapplication.dev to https://myapplication.dev. I already tried to go to

chrome://net-interna

Answer 1

There is no way to prevent Chrome (>= 63) form using https on .dev domain names.
Google now owns the official .dev tld and has already stated that they will not remove this functionality.

The recommendation is to use another tld for development purposes, such as .localhost or .test.
