#15No, it doesn't. (macOS Firefox)
For me DNS lookup fails (using dig, dns-sd, dscacheutil). Maybe an ISP thing?
Edit: Ah, I see (quoted in the shortest URLs page):
> Dotless domains will not be universally reachable and the SSAC recommends strongly against their use. As a result, the SSAC also recommends that the use of DNS resource records such as A, AAAA, and MX in the apex of a TopLevel Domain (TLD) be contractually prohibited where appropriate and strongly discouraged in all cases.
