@Saccc_c: As a heavy Codex user, here are several plugins I frequently use daily: 1. The Desktop Operation Trio (computer use + chrome + browser) – All three can control your computer, but they differ in scope and scenarios: - computer use: Codex's unique treasure, with the widest range of operations. Suitable for native app operations, system settings, etc. - chrome: Takes over your real browser, ideal for tasks requiring site logins, generally faster than computer use. - browser: Uses Codex's built-in browser, best for local web development and debugging.
