.dev
The .dev domain is a generic TLD operated by Google Registry, launched in February 2019. It’s specifically designed for developers and development-related projects. A key feature is that .dev requires HTTPS — it’s on the HSTS preload list, meaning browsers will only connect via secure connections. This makes it ideal for developer portfolios, documentation sites, tools, and APIs. Google itself uses web.dev for web development resources. The extension has been widely adopted by individual developers, open-source projects, and developer tools companies. Its association with Google and the built-in security requirement give it strong credibility in the tech community.
