Another quick tip - if you have a x button on the right or left (to close the tab), if you middle click that button, that will also open the last closed tab.

Not only calculator, but the Google search plug-in can be used as a unit converter. Any unit measure (area, length, energy, power, force, pressure, volume, currency), it converts.

To set focus on the search box, Ctrl+E works in addition to Ctrl+K. The advantage of Ctrl+E is its consistency with the equivalent functionality throughout Windows Vista.

The ‘Reveal Saved Password’ tip seems a little overkill for something that can be done with 5 clicks (some typing and one more click if you use a master password) surely?

Actually I have a question.

If I am using search engine plug-in box, I don’t know how can I make that result to be display in a different tab? It is very probably that I will need later on the page which I’m seeing at the moment I want to use search engine plug-in box. I found some alternative but they are not so … elegant, so that way I’m asking.

The solution which I found till now are:
1. Open a new tab (CTRL + T) every time before using search engine (CTRL + K)
2. Go to the search engine(CTRL + K) write what you want and scroll click on the search button (in the right of the text box). The scroll click is very useful also when you want to open in a new tab a link from one page.
