OpenAI’s Codex just moved into Chrome, where the useful work and the risks live

OpenAI released a Chrome extension for Codex that can operate inside authenticated browser sessions.

It can help with tasks across web apps like email, CRM tools, dashboards, research, and browser debugging.

The move expands Codex from coding into everyday browser workflows, making it more broadly useful.

It also raises security, permission, and oversight concerns because it can act in signed-in accounts.

The rollout is not available in the EU or UK yet.
