[Update: Open registration] Google announces .dev top-level domain, open registration in February
During Day 1 of the 2018 Chrome Dev Summit, among the other announcements shared, one seemed to slip under the radar. Squeezed between the announcement of Web.dev, a new developer resource website, and a demonstration of VisBug, a browser-based visual development tool, was a minor note that registration would soon be open for the .dev top-level domain.
Update 2: Registration is now open for .dev domains without any additional “Early Access” fees.
