OpenAI Codex Launches Chrome Extension — AI Agent Can Now Navigate and Automate Browser Tasks Directly

Product Hunt·medium signal

OpenAI's Codex launched a Chrome browser extension on Product Hunt that lets the AI agent navigate web pages and automate browser-based tasks directly. This moves Codex beyond code generation into browser automation territory — users can describe tasks in natural language and Codex executes them within the browser context. This positions Codex as a direct competitor to browser automation agents like Anthropic's computer use and the recently-shuttered Google Project Mariner.
