ChatGPT's browser extension can now use and control your open tabs

OpenAI has upgraded the ChatGPT extension for Chrome so ChatGPT can use your open tabs as context when you mention them, with a side chat next to the page you're on. In ChatGPT Work or Codex it can also act in the browser where you're already signed in: fill forms, send messages, download files and group tabs. OpenAI's help page says this works from the desktop app with Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi, asks before using each new website by default, and needs broad browser permissions such as reading and changing data on all sites. Availability can depend on rollout and workspace settings.
