The article mentions as workaround:

That means your local development machine needs to;

- Be able to serve HTTPs

- Have self-signed certificates in place to handle that

- You'll have to click through the annoying unsecure site window every time

Such fun.

Part of HSTS is the requirement that certificate warnings become unskippable. So the above wouldn't work - you'll need an actual CA-signed certificate that is accepted by the browser, otherwise, you won't be able to access the site.



Or don't use .dev and use .test or .localhost instead. Those were reserved by rfc2606 for such purposes nearly two decades ago.


Just type badidea on the HSTS page
