Prevent Chrome from redirecting to https on certain domains?

I am using Laravel valet to host websites on my local machine for dev using the *.app domain. Whenever I try to visit URL's using Chrome they get redirect to the https version (which i do not want). How can I alter this behaviour for my local websites?

It is not possible to prevent this behavior on Chrome, however it is possible for Firefox. You have no choice than having an alternative solution.

Via this article:

  1. In Firefox, visit about:config via the address bar
  2. Search for the parameter network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist
  3. Change it’s value to false

This seems to be the intended behavior since the Chrome 63 update took place. This blog talks about .dev but this is also happening to .app apparently.

tl;dr: Chrome 63 (out since December 2017), will force all domains ending on .dev (and .foo) to be redirected to HTTPS via a preloaded HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header.

This adds the following line to Chromium's preload lists;

{ "name": "dev", "include_subdomains": true, "mode": "force-https" },
{ "name": "foo", "include_subdomains": true, "mode": "force-https" },
