Issue descriptionChrome Version : 50.0.2661.102 (64-bit) URLs (if applicable) : http://1mb.website Other browsers tested: Add OK or FAIL, along with the version, after other browsers where you have tested this issue: Safari: Firefox: IE: What steps will reproduce the problem? (1) Load http://1mb.website with Network inspector tab open (2) Once finished, check page transfer size summary in status line at bottom of inspector screen (3) What is the expected result? The transfer weight of the site in question is precisely 1e6 bytes, or 1 MB (by definition). Chrome should report the transfer size as one of 977 KiB, 1000 kB or 1 MB. What happens instead? Chrome reports 977 KB. This is arguably incorrect if you accept the SI definition of the term. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte

The `ls` command (http://linux.die.net/man/1/ls) defaults to 1024 base and nearly all tools that I'm used to using. So I'm not in any rush to adopt the 1000 base math. I'd be fine with changing our representation to "977K", dropping the "B". It upgrades the information density, so it seems like a win.

It's definitely a tricky issue and the "right" answer goes against some conventions. Note that Google convert says that 1,000,000 Bytes is 1,000 Kilobytes https://www.google.com/search?q=1000000%20bytes%20to%20KB
