Several outlets report that OpenAI’s ChatGPT is rolling out new capabilities for its Google Chrome extension, allowing the assistant to use information from tabs already open in a user’s browser. With the extension installed, users can “tag” Chrome in ChatGPT’s web or desktop app, after which ChatGPT can view the relevant browser tabs to help compare information or complete tasks.
Engadget and India Today both describe the update in terms of enabling access to Chrome tabs for task assistance. The Verge adds context that OpenAI is replacing its earlier “ChatGPT Atlas” browser experience and instead focusing on the Chrome extension. Across the coverage, the emphasis is on the extension’s integration with existing browsing activity, rather than requiring users to manually copy content into ChatGPT. The reports also reference a demo video showing how the feature can use open tabs during interaction.
