5 awesome Google features you aren’t using
Google is known for its search engine, with information on any topic only a few keystrokes and clicks away.
But many users are not aware that it does more than answer questions like: “What happens if I put metal in the microwave?”
The company has built many cool features into its search engine, as detailed by a Quora thread on the topic.
The list below details five cool Google features available to users, and one bonus game feature.
Timer
Type “timer” and the amount of time you want to count down from into the Google search bar, and you have an in-browser clock ticking away.
Build with Chrome
Build with Chrome lets you “build something awesome” out of Lego in your browser.
Number Speaker
