Claude Browser Use Fails on Multi-Profile Chrome Tasks, User Reports
trq212 · x · 2026-09-26
A user detailed a Claude Computer/Browser Use failure: asking it to pay $40 via PayPal logged into a second Chrome profile. Claude's built-in browser couldn't import the user's cookies (running on the first profile) and didn't try controlling local Chrome via computer use, where saved passwords could be used with approval.
The user is collecting similar concrete failure cases to help fix these agent limitations, highlighting real-world multi-account gaps in Anthropic's browser agent.
