Is there a way to browse the internet with binary IP addresses?

You should be able to.

Try it with a PING.

That is one of the ways spammers hide their real addresses: they post teh address in base 256..... but if you PING with the base256 address, the ping will return the value as the traditional four octet (decimal) IP address. (then you can find 'em & kill 'em)

The dotted decimal format is strictly a format for human convenience ... it all gets down to binary eventually.

Give it a shot

FWIW

I tried pinging Google in binary... 01000000.11101001.10100001.01101000

No such luck. I think you have to work on a lower layer, not the Application layer, to make requests in binary.
 
I would imagine you need to be on the 3rd layer to do it in binary.
At the application layer your 11011000.11101111.00100101.01100011 looks like "00110001 00110001 00110000 00110001 00110001 00110000 00110000 00110000 00101110 00110001 00110001 00110001 00110000 00110001 00110001 00110001 00110001 00101110 00110000 00110000 00110001 00110000 00110000 00110001 00110000 00110001 00101110 00110000 00110001 00110001 00110000 00110000 00110000 00110001 00110001" in binary
