ClaudeOfficial · reddit · 2026-08-27
Claude's Cowork feature now includes a built-in browser, allowing the AI to perform web navigation, clicking, and form filling without requiring a Chrome extension.
Key Features:
- No Installation Required: It runs out-of-the-box in a side panel, separate from the user's main browser and tabs (Chrome login import is optional).
- Visual Supervision: Users can watch Claude navigate the web in real-time.
- Rollout & Compatibility: Rolling out to desktop app users on paid plans this week; existing Chrome extension users can keep it as the default in settings.
