Google Chrome says: I know the internet.

Firefox says: I can take you where you want to go.

Internet Explorer says: I can take you where you want to go. I’m not sure what I’m doing, would you like to navigate to ‘http://3639557480.com’ instead?

For those of you who aren’t familiar with IP addresses:
3639557480 = 216*2563 + 239*2562 + 61*2561 + 104*2560 = 216.239.61.104
So, http://3639557480 and http://216.239.61.104 are both the same.

I switched from Firefox and set my default browser to Google Chrome after using it for two days. Firefox was great, it still is, and I’ll still be using Firefox and IE occasionally. But my default browser is going to be Google Chrome; at least for now.

    firefox understands it. but it does not show it decoded like chrome does. if you try to browse to http://3639557480/ in firefox(FF3.5) it will go to google.. :)
