Using Chrome for more than browsing

22 Nov 2009

I’m using Google Chrome not only for internet browsing.
I wanted to call my friend in Florida and I want to know the time there.
I opened a chrome window, typed “time in Floridain the address bar, (called as omnibox), and pressed enter.

I get the time from Google search results.

And, when I need to do a simple calculation (68 * 569 - 45), I used to go to Windows Calculator, or MS Excel.
But now-a-days, I open a chrome browser window, and directly start typing this in the address bar. Guess what,
I dont even need to press enter, and request Google to make the calculation (well, that also works fine).
The result appears immediately below the saying = 38647. 

All said, Chrome can't do all these, without an internet connection.

Much more to explore. Hold On!
