ChatGPT adds Work mode to control your browser

OpenAI's October 15, 2026 update splits the ChatGPT browser extension into Chat, which reads open tabs, and Work, which fills forms, sends messages, downloads files and groups tabs. It supports Chrome, Edge, Brave and Opera, with Firefox and Safari excluded from the initial rollout.

• Work mode fills forms, sends messages and sorts tabs by topic
• Supports Chrome, Edge, Brave and Opera; Firefox and Safari left out
• With broad access it can act in active Gmail, LinkedIn and Salesforce sessions
• Typing @Chrome invokes browser tasks without opening the side panel
