Key points

  • OpenAI launches a Chrome extension for Codex that allows agents to operate inside the user's live browser session.
  • Agents can access signed-in websites, multiple tabs, and authenticated workflows without taking over the desktop.
  • The extension avoids the traditional screenshot-and-click loop, enabling parallel work across tabs.
  • Codex dynamically switches between plugins, Chrome extension, and in-app browser based on the workflow.
