As browsers don't like link local addresses in the address bar, ULA is still better.


Link local addresses work the same as IPv6 addresses in the url bar, just make sure you're entering the full link local and not the first portion only. Static IPv6 is horrible to enter in browsers in general because you have to remember to [address] as well. Of course, if you're doing it for statically configured local DNS entries as in above then all of this is moot as you'd just use the name.


You always have to specify the interface that goes with them since they are only guaranteed to be unique on the link.
