The most annoying part here is that Google isn’t even using .dev as public TLD – they purely use it for internal testing, and all registered .dev domains resolve to 127.x.x.x addresses.
.dev should have been entirely reserved, or made available publicly. Registering a TLD just for your own internal testing, and forcing everyone to switch away, is the most user unfriendly move you can do.
- CydeWeys 9y agoWe're not using it for internal testing. And specifically, the wildcard DNS entry for 127.0.53.53 is for ICANN's Controlled Interruption process.

- kuschku 9y agoSo, why is this not documented with the TLD, or in any of the informational material? (And why is Google in the TLD market at all? Google’s already far too large as company – impossible to democratically control, any further growth of Google should be immediately and forcefully stopped).
