OpenAI Brings Codex to Google Chrome
SMRTR summary
OpenAI has launched a Codex extension for Google Chrome, bringing its AI coding agent directly into the browser. Unlike Computer Use, it doesn't hijack your active session — instead, it assists with browser-based dev work like inspecting logs, testing web apps, and navigating internal tools. Codex now has over 4 million weekly active users, an 8x increase since early 2026.
