Anthropic's Chrome Extension Is Now a Cowork Session

Anthropic says Claude can now carry sessions across desktop, web and mobile while acting inside browser tabs and filling forms.

  • On Wednesday, Anthropic updated its Chrome extension, transforming Claude in Chrome into a full Claude Cowork client with sessions that persist across the company's desktop, web, and mobile apps.
  • Before this update, browser sessions remained completely isolated from other Claude apps, preventing users from continuing tasks across devices; the change now enables Claude to work within sites lacking direct connectors.
  • Claude can now navigate pages and perform actions like filling forms and clicking links, though Anthropic notes risks such as prompt injection, requiring the AI to review consequential actions against original requests.
  • Max and Team plan subscribers can access the feature immediately, while Pro users will receive it in the coming weeks; Enterprise administrators may enable the tool selectively by domain.
  • The extension remains incompatible with Chromium-based browsers that are not Chrome, though it joins other tools like Claude Code in the company's suite of browser-based AI productivity features.
