You might check out .internal instead which was recently approved [1] for local use.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.internal

Too much typing, and Chromium-based browsers don't understand it yet and try to search for mything.internal instead, which is annoying - you have to type out the whole http://mything.internal.

This can be addressed by hijacking an existing TLD for private use, e.g. mything.bb :^)

That's hardly the only example of annoying MONOBAR behavior.

This problem could have been avoided if we had different widgets for doing different things. Someone should have thought of that.
