On October 28, 2026, Digital Life Kazik shared an approach: worried that Claude might get his account banned, he did not install the Claude browser extension; instead, he wrote browser operation rules into CLAUDE.md, letting Claude direct the local Codex to perform web operations in Chrome. Under his division of labor, small tasks such as local UI previews, reading documents, and screenshot verification are left to the built-in browser, while processes requiring logging into a backend, spanning multiple websites, or involving multiple steps are handed to Codex, invoked via codex-browser "task description", with follow-up instructions using --resume <session ID>; only identity confirmations such as entering passwords and two-step verification codes are performed by the user. He also noted that Codex closes the tab at the end of each round, so each time the URL, steps, and screenshot save path must be written out clearly.

Kazik uses CLAUDE.md rules to let Claude direct Codex to control the browser
Digital Life Kazik, worried about Claude account bans, did not install the Claude browser plugin; instead, he wrote rules into CLAUDE.md to let Claude direct the local Codex to complete web operations in Chrome. The rules divide work by complexity: small tasks such as local UI previews, reading documentation, and screenshot verification are handled by the built-in browser, while processes requiring backend login, cross-website, and multi-step flows are handed to Codex, invoked via codex-browser "task description", with follow-up instructions using --resume <session ID>. Codex closes the tab at the end of each round, so each time the URL, steps, and screenshot save path must be written clearly.

Kazik uses CLAUDE.md rules to have Codex operate the browser on his behalf
Digital Life Kazik, worried about Claude account bans, did not install the Claude browser extension; instead, he wrote browser operation rules into CLAUDE.md, letting Claude call the local Codex to perform actions in Chrome such as clicking, filling out forms, and logging into admin backends. The rules divide work by complexity: small tasks like local UI previews, reading documentation, and screenshot verification are handled by the built-in browser, while multi-step end-to-end workflows, login-required backends, and cross-website tasks are handed to Codex; only identity confirmations such as entering passwords and two-step verification codes are left for the user to do. Usage is codex-browser "task description"; to append instructions use --resume <session ID>, and time-consuming tasks are run in the background.
