MacRumors • • general
Key Points:
- OpenAI has launched Codex for Chrome, a browser extension that enables Codex to operate directly within Chrome on both Macs and PCs.
- The extension allows Codex to test web apps, access context across multiple tabs, and use web DevTools without disrupting the user's browser experience.
- OpenAI observed that most common Codex workflows occur in the browser, prompting this extension to improve efficiency for browser-based tasks beyond what plugins or APIs can manage.
- Codex currently has over 4 million weekly active users, an eightfold increase since early this year, and the Chrome extension aims to enhance its daily utility for both general users and developers.
- Users can install the Codex Chrome extension via the Codex Plugins menu.
