How to Delete HSTS Settings in Chrome:
- Navigate to chrome://net-internals/#hsts
This is Chrome’s UI for managing your browser’s local HSTS settings.
- First, to confirm the domain’s HSTS settings are recorded by Chrome, type the hostname into the Query Domain section at the bottom of the page. Click Query.If the Query box returns Found with settings information below, the domain’s HSTS settings are saved in your browser.
Note that this is a very sensitive search. Only enter the hostname, such as www.example.com or example.com without a protocol or path.
- Type the same hostname into the Delete domain section and click
Your browser will no longer force an HTTPS connection for that site! You can test if its working properly by refreshing or navigating to the page.
Note that depending on the HSTS settings provided by the site, you may need to specify the proper subdomain. For example, the HSTS settings for staging.yoursite.com may be separate from yoursite.com so you may need to repeat the steps as appropriate.
