To any browser developers out there, I beg you, please, please, please whitelist lvh.me. I am so tired of security restrictions making everything painful for lvh.me.

Why? That is just an ordinary domain name that someone pointed at local host. I don't see why it should get any security exemptions.
But nothing ensures that domain name will always point to localhost. So why should browsers trust it more than other HTTP domains? It's owned by one person, so DNS registration could lapse even with the best intentions.
