Chrome won't load archive.org
Maybe it's somehow a glitch on my computer. I noticed it last night and just ended up using Firefox to load the archive.org pages I needed. Yet, today just restarted my computer and Chrome still won't load archive.org
What's happening: when I type archive.org into Chrome and press enter, it acts like I didn't do anything. I then type a different domain, such as netflix.com in, and it goes to netflix.com. Type archive.org back in and it simply reloads netflix.com
Anyone else experiencing this?
Edit: clarified which domains were loading in each instance.
- richardbrevig 12y agoUpdate: after disabling all extensions and testing that, I've now found that Chrome will load https://archive.org https://archive.org but not http://archive.org http://archive.org and it isn't redirecting the pages. So not sure if this is Chrome's fault or Archive.org's fault.
- smt88 12y agoBrowsers don't automatically assume that https://something https://something is the same as http://something http://something, and they won't redirect you between those. This is an issue in the way Archive.org has set up their servers.

- greenyoda 12y agoInitially, I got the same results as you did. But after I cleared Chrome's cache, http://archive.org http://archive.org started redirecting to https://archive.org https://archive.org.
