 ===== Possible workarounds ===== ===== Possible workarounds =====
 There are a few possible workarounds for this issue, some are inconvenient to use while others require a few minutes of your free time: There are a few possible workarounds for this issue, some are inconvenient to use while others require a few minutes of your free time:
 +
 +==== Trailing slash ====
 +//This workaround is recommended as Chrome will learn the domains you frequently navigate to and you won't need to add a forward-slash to the domains you visit frequently//
 +
 +Every time you want to visit a domain with a custom TLD, try adding a forward-slash (''/'') to the end of the domain.
 +
 +Example: You're trying to visit the domain ''opennic.glue'', try ''opennic.glue/'' instead.
  
 ==== Leading protocol ==== ==== Leading protocol ====

 Example: You're trying to visit the domain ''opennic.glue'', try ''http:/****/opennic.glue'' instead. Example: You're trying to visit the domain ''opennic.glue'', try ''http:/****/opennic.glue'' instead.
  
-==== Trailing slash ==== +==== Remove address bar search function ==== 
-Every time you want to visit a domain with a custom TLDtry adding a forward-slash (''/'') to the end of the domain.+Open the Chrome settingsclick ''Manage search engines...'' and add a new search engine:
  
-ExampleYou're trying to visit the domain ''opennic.glue'', try ''opennic.glue/'' instead.+{{:23fdef70a027.png|}} 
 + 
 +Add a new search engine: ''direct''\\ 
 +Keyword: ''%s''\\ 
 +URL with %s in place of query: ''http:/****/%s/'' 
 + 
 +Mark the search engine that you just added as default by clicking ''Make default''
 + 
 +This will cause Chrome to search any text you type into the address bar at ''http:/****/<text>/'' which breaks normal search queries via the address barYou'll either have to stick with manually opening Google and then searching for something, or you'll have to add keyword search engine: 
 + 
 +{{:681ec92e6fa1.png|}} 
 + 
 +Add a new search engine: ''Google Search''\\ 
 +Keyword: ''go''\\ 
 +URL with %s in place of query: ''{google:baseURL}search?q=%s&{google:RLZ}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}{google:assistedQueryStats}{google:searchFieldtrialParameter}{google:iOSSearchLanguage}{google:searchClient}{google:sourceId}{google:instantExtendedEnabledParameter}{google:contextualSearchVersion}ie={inputEncoding}'' 
 + 
 +Nowevery time you want to search for something, you need to type ''go <text>'' into your address bar and it will search ''<text>'' on Google. 
 + 
 +==== Add keyword search to prevent Google search ==== 
 +//This workaround is not recommended as it requires more keystrokes (7) than the ''Trailing slash'' workaround (1 keystroke)//
  
-==== Remove address bar search function ==== 
 Open the Chrome settings, click ''Manage search engines...'' and add a new search engine: Open the Chrome settings, click ''Manage search engines...'' and add a new search engine:
  
-{{:a0e844923a25.png?direct|}}+{{:6b4223f83a96.png|}} 
 + 
 +Every time you want to visit a domain with a custom TLD, you need to prepend ''direct '' to the domain (with a space). 
 + 
 +Example: You're trying to visit the domain ''opennic.glue'', try ''direct opennic.glue'' instead. 
 + 
 +==== Switch to another browser ==== 
 +The following browsers don't have this annoying behavior hardcoded, you might want to consider switching: 
 +  * [[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/|Mozilla Firefox]] 
 + 
 +==== More workarounds ==== 
 +Do you know of another workaround that is worth listing here? Please [[help|let us know]] or add it to this wiki page by editing it.
