Apart from that, you have to press shift+enter at the end to open the files in a new window.
Send e-mail
Mail can also be sent directly from the address bar. For this, if you write 'mailto:' and write the e-mail address of the recipient, the mail body will open. In this way, mail can be sent directly from the address bar without opening Gmail.

If the timer is needed immediately, typing timer in Chrome's address bar will start it. Apart from that, you have to type timer+time and press enter to set the time on the timer.
Calculator
Addressbar can also be used as a calculator if desired. For example, if you write 10+10, its sum will be shown in the address bar. Addressbar can be used as a calculator in this process instantly.
Currency, unit conversion
If you want to see the value of the currency of different countries against a specific currency, you should enter the name of the currency you want to see the amount of that currency in the address bar. For example, if you write dollar to taka, it will show how much money is in one dollar. Again, if you want to change the unit of something, you have to write it in the same way. For example, 10 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius. It will show how much Celsius it is at 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
Apart from this, features such as map, translation for translation can be used from the Google address bar.
