Not really fixing it thou because they just strip the www part from the name. If the developer does not setup www.domain.com and the user goes there chrome will not “fix” anything.

I haven’t tested it but it will most likely show up as domain.com in the address bar and will result in an error show to the customer.

If chrome wants to strip www as it’s essentially the same domain.com they can submit an RFC and not just decide for everyone. Honestly I hope they start making more stupid decisions like this so ppl move to Firefox so we have more competition.

Yup, that's on the developers. Hopefully this fix will make it so that it will be easier to setup DNS with just one domain instead of 2. Props to Chrome.
