• "defaults write -g ComputerUseAllowForbiddenTargets -bool YES unlocks full YOLO mode for ChatGPT/Codex app in macOS"

  • "Another useful one: BROWSER_USE_SECURITY_MODE=disabled-for-local-testing The codex built in browser has a load of features but its permissions gated, even with yolo mode. OpenAI seems to want to pretend you use the built in browser as your main normal browser. So enforces required permissions checks. But if you just use it for development these are just annoying and get in your way. This setting disabled it."
    • "Browser Use calls https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/aura/site_status and fails closed with 'not permitted' on hosts like Naver Blog. The bundled plugin already has a local-testing flag that skips that check: BROWSER_USE_SECURITY_MODE=disabled-for-local-testing. I wrapped that into a small third-party helper (macOS): wrap node_repl, optional origin allowlists, re-apply after ChatGPT updates. Repo: https://github.com/leixyou/bypass-codex-site-safety"
