Billion number on Edge turns into a clickable ip

Question

I use the " . " as thousand separator, so when i need to put some billion number on chrome,fox or IE it works fine, but on Edge the browser turns the text on a link.

You can test this making a simple html and opening on diferent browsers.

<body>
    <label>1,999,999,999</label>
    <br>
    <label>1.100.100.000</label>
</body>

How can i avoid this on Edge?

on Microsoft Edge this text '1.100.100.000' turns into a link, on other browsers its just a normal text. How can i avoid this on Edge? — Ricardo Franco

Your link isn't a clickable IP, but interpreted as a phone number.

The answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/31867199/2897426 provides a way to disable automatic phone number detection, by adding the following meta tag to the <head> of your html file:

<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">
