Avoid using `.local`. In my experience Chrome does not like it with HTTPS. It takes much much longer to resolve. I found a Chrome bug relating to this but do not have it handy to share. `.localhost` makes more sense for local development anyways.

The reason is .local is a special case TLD for link-local networking with name resolution through things like mdns, by trying to hijack it for other use things might not go as you intend. Alternatively, .localhost is just a reserved TLD so it has no other usage to check.
