OpenAI has upgraded its Chrome extension to bring much of the familiar ChatGPT experience directly into Google's browser. The integration adds a sidebar that can work alongside whatever you're viewing, understand information across multiple open tabs, and, through ChatGPT Work, interact with websites on your behalf.
