Turn your Web Browser into a Calculator

Hey, there. I know I have been gone a long while now. College. But, I still surfed the net and for you guys found a new neat trick.

As the title tells you can convert your web browser into a handy calculator. Now, don't go jumping and start finding complex calculations. I mean, dude, it does not go beyond a simple calculator. So, without further ado, here is the how-to (rhymes):
  • Start your web browser
  • Start console (If there are many consoles, just start any one. I used Web Console.)
  • Now, just do your calculations..

I just tested it out with firefox portable. Now, I am gonna list shortcuts to open the console for the three most commonly used web browsers. Sorry, can't list them all.

For Firefox, press Ctrl + Alt + K

For Google Chrome, press Ctrl + Alt + J

For Opera, press Ctrl + Alt + I

If you are using the Mac Keyboard, then replace Ctrl with Command.

As Always, thanks for reading and please comment. If I have made a mistake, then please let me know by commenting below.

Change your Browser into a notepad (sorta)

Hey, long time no see. I have been busy, you know with all the exams, projects and assignments. But, I did not forget you.

This little trick is super. Every now and then, when I surf the web, I like to collect little snippets of information. For this, I needed Notepad or Gedit. But, lately I have just been using the browser. With this trick you can change your browser into a notepad with almost the same functionality.

Here's how you do it:
  • Start your web browser.
  • In the URL Bar, type
data:text/html, <html contenteditable>
  •  Hit Enter and enjoy your new notepad.


That's it. But wait, this trick will work only if your browser supports HTML5. Well, most browsers do, so you  need not worry.

As Always thanks for reading and please comment.
