Expanded Functionality
The updated extension enables a 'Computer Use' feature in Work mode. This allows ChatGPT to perform tasks that span multiple tabs, such as filling out forms with information from one tab or comparing products listed on several pages. This capability is not restricted to paid tiers and is available to all ChatGPT users. Source: The Decoder
Enterprise Security Implications
The ability for the extension to read browser content introduces potential security risks for businesses. When employees use personal ChatGPT accounts at work, the extension may gain access to sensitive or confidential data displayed in their browser. This creates a new challenge for enterprise security, requiring clear policies on the use of AI-powered browser extensions to mitigate data exposure risks. Source: BleepingComputer
