Web developers have been using .dev top-level domains within their internal networks for testing purposes for a long time. However, after Google acquired the TLD, such environments have stopped functioning on some modern web browsers.{{Cite news |last=Koopersmith |first=Daryl |date=28 November 2017 |title=Use a .dev domain?
