ChatGPT needs dubious access to other's app data while using Chrome extension

What subscription do you have?

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.6.2 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

When trying to use Chrome extension to browse a site, the extensions doesn't work reporting that there is a sys admin block that prevents access to the page even if the page is explicitly whitelisted and there is no block on the page. Also the extensions is activated but never loads the page itself from either ChatGPT desktop app nor chrome extensions active on the very page with everything whitelisted.

The only thing I could notice is a macOS gatekeeper warning that I've intentionally not allowed because is simply too much of a permission and therefore I believe this is a security concern. Not willing to accept on an attempt to prove if that solves the issue.

Unrelated: while using codex I see random Apple Music libraries access requests through gatekeer.

FYI: Claude works flawlessly with the same approach and its extension on the same machine.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Feedback ID: 01a081d9-e19d-7962-a342-c0be29958777

What is the expected behavior?

Chrome extensions can access the page.

Additional information

Originally I set extensions to only allow access on click. Now I've reinstalled and reloaded the page with Always access site settings. Nothing.

Start with feedback ID 01a081d9-e19d-7962-a342-c0be29958777 and reproduce on Darwin 25.6.2 arm64 with the Chrome extension and the reported site-access settings. Compare the sysadmin block and Gatekeeper or Apple Music permission requests; done means the extension loads an explicitly whitelisted page without requiring excessive unrelated access.
