CryptoWorld News reports that OpenAI has announced a developer mode for the built-in browser in Chrome and Codex, supporting Codex agents to access the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). This mode enables Codex to analyze JavaScript performance within the browser, inspect console outputs, monitor network traffic, and analyze DOM structures and CSS styles, providing in-depth diagnostics for complex real-time web pages and applications. Since full CDP access may involve sensitive data review and control, OpenAI has introduced a security approval mechanism, requiring Codex to request user authorization when inspecting websites with CDP, and users must review the site and task requests accordingly. Users can enable this feature in the Codex settings.

The security approval mechanism is a necessity, but I hope the authorization process isn't too complicated; it gets annoying if used too often.

Full CDP access to sensitive data, OpenAI is relatively cautious this time

Monitoring network traffic is very useful; troubleshooting interface issues saves a lot of trouble.

Codex can now act as a browser debugging expert, front-end developers can relax a bit.

Developer mode + security approval balances capability and risk; the approach is correct.

The design of CDP permissions is quite crucial; otherwise, who could tolerate an AI agent freely scraping user data?
