Did you know the search bar in Google Chrome has a ton of functionalities? It is called the Omnibox and has lots of features! If you search for some specific terms you can get a ton of easy answers and tools! You can set a timer, use a calculator or do quick conversions, roll a dice, choose a wheel spinner, flip a coin, get random trivia, and more! Another feature I use a lot is the share button and the QR Code generator. It is a super-easy way to get a QR Code for the websites you are currently on.
Check out some of the tools available in the Omnibox.
