I use Qwant now instead of Google search,

I miss just being able to type 23 * 3 + 210 * 2 into the search bar and getting a answer.

I also miss just typing tsla or 1 eur to usd and getting a answer, I use FireFox, are there plugins for this?
Or what would be a workaround?

DDG should do the currency conversions. But, you know your phone has a calculator that doesn't send data anywhere, right? Why wait for the server to do math when you can do it all in your hand?

On my phone I just use my calculator, it's when I'm at my PC

Currently I just open the calculator, but that's annoying and then another app that's open, where I'm usually already in a web browser.

And for currency conversion I don't have a app on my PC, nor do I want to install one if the browser can just do it

DDG is the search engine, just change your engine with the drop down.
