That address is Google's user content. It's probably not really one
address - it's more probably anycast and you end up on any one of
thousands of different actual servers when you go there. But I don't
really know.

147.62.236.23.bc.googleusercontent.com.

I use it every day. You may well be using it too. The place that hosts
my websites supports IPv6. It "just works", mostly. Most modern
operating systems will use it if it's there, and will prefer it over
IPv4 if both are available.

Type "What's my IP" into Google - if you are using IPv6 it'll show an
IPv6 address.
