Description
Currently, the Brave address bar (Omnibox) does not provide instant mathematical calculation results as a suggestion. Users must press "Enter" to see results via a search engine, which disrupts the workflow compared to other Chromium-based browsers like Opera GX or Chrome.
Steps to Reproduce
Type a mathematical expression (e.g., 256 * 12) into the Brave address bar.
Observe the dropdown suggestions.
Actual Behavior
The browser only shows search suggestions or "search on Google/Brave," requiring the user to navigate away from the current page to get an answer.
Expected Behavior
The Omnibox should calculate the result instantly and display it as a non-selectable or selectable suggestion entry, allowing for quick reference without performing a full search.
Comparison
Brave Browser: Currently lacks inline calculation for larger integers or complex expressions.
Opera GX / Chrome : Displays the result immediately in the dropdown list.
