Chromex is a Chrome MV3 side-panel extension that connects the browser to OpenAI's Codex CLI via a local native-messaging bridge. It lets users chat with page content, tabs, files, screenshots, and voice input, and run browser-control and translation workflows.
Use cases
- chat with the current webpage or selected tabs using an AI assistant
- summarize PDFs, arXiv papers, and YouTube videos in the browser
- transcribe and translate live audio in a Chrome side panel
- edit or generate images from within Chrome
- automate browser workflows with AI-driven content scripts
When to choose
- you want a Codex-powered assistant embedded in Chrome's side panel
- you need page-aware AI chat, file/PDF analysis, and voice input in one extension
- you prefer keeping credentials out of extension storage via a local bridge
When to avoid
- you don't use Chrome or don't want to install a local native host bridge
- you need a browser-agnostic or fully cloud-hosted assistant
- you can't run the required Codex CLI (0.130.0+) locally
