Maximum length of URL in different browsers

If we need to store URLs in a column of a table in SQL, what is the maximum length can we assign for the datatype?

I googled for couple of minutes and found some desired results.

Microsoft has posted that IE browser can allow maximum of 2083 characters.

According to above articles it is ideal to assign nvarchar(max) for URL column. If space consumption is a concern then we can give nvarchar(3000).
