ChatGPT's Chrome add-on can now click around websites for you

ChatGPT's add-on for Chrome can now do more than answer questions. According to TechSpot, it can control your browser tabs, download files and fill out online forms on your behalf. Until now, the add-on mostly worked as a chat panel on the side of the page.

What changed

The add-on, also called an extension, is a small tool you install inside a web browser. This one connects ChatGPT to Chrome, the browser most people already use. The update lets it act on websites instead of only talking about them. In plain terms, it can click around for you.

• It can control your browser tabs.
• It can download files.
• It can fill out online forms for you.

Who it affects

Anyone who uses ChatGPT in Chrome and spends time on routine web chores could notice the change. Think of repeat forms, file downloads and switching between pages. Business owners with a lot of small online tasks may find it most useful.

What is not known yet

The material available does not say what the update costs, who can use it first, or when it rolls out to everyone. It also does not explain what limits or safety checks are built in. Those details matter, because a tool that fills out forms is handling real information.

What to do

Treat it like a new assistant on its first week. Check any form it fills out before anything is sent. Look over any file it downloads before opening it. Be extra careful with money or private details, such as payment information, until you are confident it gets things right.
