ChatGPT extension gains access to tagged Chrome tabs
OpenAI upgraded its ChatGPT browser extension so it could view information in Chrome tabs that users explicitly tag, Engadget and the Verge reported. The feature was designed to compare information and perform tasks across already-open pages, bringing some of the company’s former Atlas browser capabilities into a standard Chrome workflow.
Why it matters
Tab access could make browser tasks faster while giving users a new permission boundary to manage.
