Google Chrome calls their web address bar "The Omnibox". You can do many things in the Omnibox that will save you time and make your life easier. Here are some of my favorites...
Search
Google is the king of search, so it makes sense that you can search directly from their web address bar. Instead of going directly to www.google.com in order to search, you can just open your browser and type in your query in the URL address box at the top of the screen.
Calculator
If you need to do a quick calculation while on the web, you can simply type in an equation like 3+4 and then click the enter key. This will bring up a calculator in your browser window.
Conversions
Have you ever wanted to quickly know many teaspoons are in a tablespoons, or how many miles are in a 5k? Is so, then Google search will be your new best friend. Simply type: 5km in miles or 3 tsp = tbsp and a converter will show up in your search results.
Weather
Want to know what the weather will be like for the rest of the week? Simply type weather? in your address bar and the forecast for the week will appear.
