I didn't even realize 0.0.0.0 was a valid address to enter into a browser! TIL.

On Linux it is just a catch all address (listen on all interfaces)

Elsewhere it doesn't do anything since I don't believe it is part of the networking standards

Yeah I'm familiar with that part, I just meant in context of a browser being able to connect to it.
