Note that IE11 won't bookmark URLs longer than 260 characters. I'm unsure if Edge has the same limitation.

in Chrome in 2016 I've been able to open a url with 260300 ascii chars using the osx open command from a simple script, and could confirm that all the characters were passed through to the server. The url in the browser gets truncated to 32791 characters, concludinding with ... (%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6)
