Similar things happen in Chrome. This is why I jumped the shark and simply use fake domains with actual TLDs for local development stuff, e.g. "myproject.ninja" or "something.gg". With the advent of all those new TLDs, there should be one for you as well to designate as "this points to localhost". ;-)
- hultner 12y agoI've had similar things happen in Chrome but in no way as intrusive and obnoxious, let say in Chrome if I change an existing url in the urlbar of localhost I'm taken to the correct site and not redirected to the google launch page.
- Already__Taken 12y agoThe only trick I've had to do with chrome is use an ending slash `/` like `devserver/` and it tries that hostname and doesn't search for it.
- thejosh 12y agoSame, but I went and bought companyname.st , so that way it's just a six letter domain dot st, and wildcard map DNS to developers internal IPs.
