> Whenever I use Chrome and it redirects a legitimate website URL that I've hosted locally to their search engine as a search query... German internet provider T-Online pretty much does the same by default. When you enter a domain without a DNS record, they will redirect you to one of their pages. I think it's something like "That domain does not exist" at the top and then their "news" site which is plastered with ads and more. Shady tactics, but you can disable that in their settings when they are your ISP.
