One thing I miss from Google is a reliable built-in calculator. I know I could just use some other calculator app but the habit of just typing stuff into my address bar is hard to shake.

Kagi also has a calculator, but for a lot of queries it gives questionable results, for example for `210/8` it returns `105/4`. Technically correct, sure, but almost never what I want.

FWIW I think this has improved radically in the past few weeks thanks to their integration with Wolfram. I haven't tried it yet though but was pleased to see that in the changelog
It's apparently the Wolfram|Alpha integration that returns 105/4.
I agree. I've also found out that "210/8.0" returns the desired result.
Just tested this out, you can add "in decimal" to get it as a decimal.
just "decimal" works too
