Description
Summary
On macOS arm64, Codex/ChatGPT Desktop can discover and claim already signed-in Shopee and Mercado Libre tabs in Chrome, and it can read the page title and URL. However, deeper DOM/page-content reads and screenshots time out after roughly 20 seconds.
Reproduction
- Open a signed-in Shopee Seller Center or Mercado Libre seller tab in Chrome.
- Ask Codex to connect to the existing Chrome tab.
- Reading the tab title and URL succeeds.
- Reading deeper page content/DOM or taking a screenshot times out.
- The same behavior reproduces in a newly created Codex task.
Troubleshooting already attempted
- Updated/reinstalled and restarted Chrome.
- Reinstalled/restarted ChatGPT Desktop and the Browser/Chrome plugin.
- Reinstalled/enabled the ChatGPT Chrome extension.
- Added browsing permissions for:
seller.shopee.cnglobal-selling.mercadolibre.com
- Rebooted Codex and Chrome.
- No seller data was modified during the tests.
Environment
- macOS arm64
- Chrome:
152.0.7977.65 - ChatGPT Chrome extension:
1.2.27268.51612 - Browser/Chrome plugin:
26.825.41651

Research direction
Start by reproducing the timeout with the signed-in Shopee Seller Center or Mercado Libre tab on macOS arm64, then review feedback thread 01a051b9-384b-72a0-9620-a9ff0faff8ba and the listed extension/plugin versions. Done means deeper DOM reads and screenshots complete successfully for the affected Chrome tabs instead of timing out.
