Google Chrome – Chromium Not Checking Hosts File

google-chrome

I was setting up a server, but Chromium decides to ignore my hosts file.

  1. I unchecked "Predict network actions to improve page load performance"
  2. I cleared chrome://net-internals/#dns
  3. I restarted my virtual machine
  4. I reinstalled Chromium and did 1-3 again
  5. I reseted Chromium and did 1-3 again

I don't know what else to do, all the answers I found on Google does not work. Every other browser works but Chromium just decide to ignore hosts file.

Anyone has any idea on what went wrong?

Solutions in this answer do not work for me (That is 1 and 2, I tried 3 times). And I checked proxy settings, it's off.

Update: It seems that Chromium doesn't allow a domain to be pointed to localhost… Haven't found a workaround so far.

::1 is accepted by pretty much everything but Chromium doesn't accept it. You have to use 127.0.0.1 to point to localhost.
