This calculator extension's scientific mode keeps the same spirit — on-screen keys, DEG/RAD switching, inverse trig, logs, roots and memory keys — so your daily browser math doubles as exam practice. (It is a general-purpose calculator, not an official GATE tool.) 💡 Helpful Tips ✅ Just start typing — the popup listens to your keyboard from the moment it opens ✅ Press Enter for equals, Backspace to erase, Esc to clear everything ✅ Use the history tape as a scratchpad: click any old result to drop it into a new calculation ✅ M+ your subtotal, keep calculating, then MR to bring it back ✅ Doing a long series of calculations? Pop it out as a floating calculator beside your spreadsheet ✅ Switch to RAD before doing calculus-style trig, back to DEG for geometry ✅ The copy button grabs the exact result — paste it straight into spreadsheets or forms ❓ FAQ ► Do I need an account? No — no account, no sign-up and no ads. Install it and start calculating. ► Does it work offline? Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser; no internet needed after install. ► Can it stay open while I work? Yes — open it as a floating window with the float button in the header. The floating calculator stays on screen when you click away, keeps your in-progress calculation, and a setting can make the toolbar icon always open it that way. ► Is it a scientific calculator too? Yes — switch to Scientific mode for trig, logs, powers, roots, factorial, π, e and memory keys. ► Does it follow operator precedence? Yes. 2+3×4 = 14, powers are right-associative and parentheses work as expected. ► Can I use my keyboard? Fully — digits, operators, parentheses, Enter for =, Backspace, and Esc to clear. ► Where is my calculation history stored? On your device, in Chrome's local storage. Nothing is transmitted anywhere. ► Is this the official GATE virtual calculator? No — it's a general-purpose calculator extension, but the scientific mode is great for getting comfortable with on-screen calculators used in exams like GATE. 🚀 How to Get Started 1️⃣ Install the extension and pin Virtual Calculator to your toolbar 2️⃣ Click the icon — the popup calculator opens instantly 3️⃣ Type or click your expression and press Enter 4️⃣ Flip to Scientific mode whenever you need trig, logs or powers 5️⃣ Open the history tape to reuse any of your last 50 results 6️⃣ Want it always on screen?
