It’s also not only specifically related to Chrome browser but any browser can be used as a calculator. As here I’m listing some useful tips for Google Chrome browser, I thought to mention it as well.

For this, you will have to turn on the OK Google option from your browser settings. To do so, just go to your Google Chrome browser settings and tick on Enable “OK Google” to start a voice search. As soon as you will do so, the microphone icon will be shown in the search bar so that you can easily search things by giving voice commands.
#5: Browse web pages offline in Google Chrome
You might be thinking how is it possible to browse webpages in Google Chrome when you’re offline? But friends, it is 100% possible! You can view the pages of websites and blogs you previously accessed in Google Chrome.
For this, you’ll have to enable the Load Stale button from Chrome’s experimental flags/settings page. Go to chrome://flags, look for “Enable Load Stale Button” and select Enabled. Finally, click on the Relaunch Now button found below the page or just restart your browser for changes to be applied.
