For development on local machine I've set domains with custom top level domain .nt
. But Google Chrome doesn't know about this top level domain, so, if I enter example.nt
in location bar, then google doesn't open that location, but opens search with that string (though it shows a bar proposing that I wanted to open location instead of searching if DNS request for that location satisfies). So I can either type http://example.nt
, type example.nt/
or open that location to teach Google Chrome, but in any case there will be slash at the end of location. All this is not very convenient, also I don't like this slash, is it possible to tell Google Chrome, that .nt
is a normal TLD, so just open locations in with it?
Read the question. The issue occurs when not using http:://. A potential right answer is that of @eouw0o83hf – asiby – 2017-12-14T03:16:21.727

That will work, but people aren't in the habit if typing "http://" in front of everything. When was the last time you wanted to go to a site and started typing "http://%22?

example.nt/
(with a single trailing slash) will cause chrome to treat it as a URL. This is much less annoying than having to addhttp://
to everything. – eouw0o83hf – 2012-10-04T13:54:24.8771There's a workaround that just involves updating the search engine settings. See my answer below. – simmbot – 2013-09-17T21:34:51.460
