[This isn't a problem with Pow but this seems the best place to ask for help.]

When I use Google Chrome and type in a URL from a Pow-served app, e.g. myapp.dev/some/path, Chrome often* tries to search the web for the text of the URL instead of going to the URL. After a second or two, a bar appears across the top of the page asking whether in fact I want to go to that URL instead.

How can I configure Chrome always to treat .dev URLs as valid domains?

* I can't reproduce this reliably but it happens often enough to be annoying.
