Developer patches Codex to work with Arc browser via ChatGPT extension modification

A developer published a patched copy of OpenAI's ChatGPT extension, in the GitHub repository arc-browser-use, that lets Codex control the Arc browser. The original extension's browser control stalled on the first tab open in Arc because it did not wait for Chrome's tab-group API; the patch waits for that API before loading each tab, allowing Codex to list Arc as a usable browser.
