Chrome browser control will not connect in the ChatGPT desktop app.
I am using the Windows desktop app. Under Settings → Computer use, Google Chrome shows “Browser extension installed,” and the control is switched on. I have restarted both Chrome and ChatGPT, opened a signed-in Restaurant Depot page in Chrome, and asked ChatGPT to use Chrome. ChatGPT still cannot connect to or read the Chrome tab.
The browser-control component appears to fail during initialization. Please help me repair or reset the Chrome browser-control connection.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
I would like to have Chat use my browser
What is the expected behavior?
Chat being able to use my mouse and keyboard to extract information
