Chrome and localhost:3000 on Mac

[mikecargal]

I have Chrome set as my default browser, so npm start opens Chrome to http:://localhost:3000 which times out. I can change it to http://127.0.0.1:3000 and it works fine, so I can work around it. Safari works fine opening http://localhost:3000

My suspicion is that it has something to do with Chrome and IPV6

Interesting. I wonder if 0.0.0.0 works?

I get a proxy error message for 0.0.0.0 I added it to the proxy exclusions, but Chrome isn't picking it up. I'll slap it around a bit later to try to get past that.

With localhost, the response is that the bottom corner just sits there saying "Waiting for localhost", and eventually Chrome responds with "The site can't be reached"

This seems like something related to your computer’s configuration. Opening localhost is a pretty standard practice so I’m inclined to close unless more users chime in.

This happen to me also, but only in Chrome. In other browsers http:://localhost:3000 works. And as @mikecargal experienced http://127.0.0.1:3000 works in Chrome. I have Chrome v 69.0.3497.100

Chrome and the other browsers required https. Create-React-App is setup to use plan http.
