As well as being a place to type in URLs from websites, Google Chrome’s omnibox (search box) can also:
- Give definitions of words
- Work as a calculator
- Act as a timer for tasks
- Correct my students’ work for me
Explanation:
As well as being a place to type in URLs from websites, the omnibox also gives definitions of words, acts as a timer of tasks and also works as a calculator.
Not only does the omnibox double as a search field and an address bar, but it has many in-built features which streamline work. Type “define: teacher” into the omnibox and the definition of a teacher will be delivered (including a speaker icon to read the word to you).
To use the omnibox as a calculator, type in a math equation and when you hit enter/return your equation will be completed. You can even convert mass, temperature, and distance by typing the conversion right in.
