Chrome ignores Windows host file

I've setup a custom DNS on windows hosts file (\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)

127.0.0.1       www.testdomain.localhost

Works on all my browser apart from Chrome (67.0.3396.99 64-bit) What I tried so far:

chrome://net-internals/#sockets -> "Flush socket pools"
chrome://net-internals/#dns -> "Clear host cache"
CMD -> ipconfig /flushdns

Crome history and cache clear (full clear). Removed prediction stuff from Chrome.

PC restart, Chrome factory reset and I also called mum.. still nothing.

Solution found! Chrome seems to ignore the following extensions:

.dev
.localhost
.test
.example

and it works using .local

Same problem. Not sure why, but I can get to the local site using incognito mode.
