There is a calculator app in your OS. And you should or may, also, have a Calculator key on your keyboard that will open it.

Yes, you're right, I could use my OS calculator but it is faster to use the Edge calculator from the address bar. The only problem is that it isn't available on InPrivate mode.

I hope Microsoft fixes their mess and allow text predictions/suggestions based on the keywords we type in the InPrivate browsing mode. doing that also means you'll get calculation results off your address bar.- 07_19Sep 03, 2019Iron Contributor
Thanks a lot for your time HotCakeX! Is there a better way to let know Microsoft that we want text predictions/suggestions in the InPrivate browsing than posting on this forum?

Yw!
well you can try the Feedback button at the top-right (smiley button) to send your feedback. also the Edge team members are present in this forum if you want to contact them directly, they have this blue circle around their profile picture. though they usually come visit every forum post regularly and leave a comment.you can also use this form to submit requests. though using the built-in browser feedback option let you send additional details like system diagnostics and screenshots to help the team understand the situation better.
