Google Chrome Ignoring Hosts File

Seems that Chrome doesn’t likes the following extensions for that kind of stuff:

.dev
.localhost
.test
.example

Use .local and the problem seems to disappear.

Update from [George Udosen][1] suggestion:

.app is also ignored. [1]: https://stackoverflow.com/users/2782188/george-udosen
