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

Chrome 63 forces .dev domains to HTTPS via preloaded HSTS and soon all other browsers will follow.

.dev gTLD has been bought by Google for internal use and can not be used anymore with http, only https is allowed. See this article for further explanations:
