Anthropic's Claude Now Has a Browser of Its Own
The browser is separate from users’ tabs and passwords and can share selected logins from Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, Anthropic said.
- On Wednesday, Anthropic announced its Claude Cowork desktop app now includes a built-in Chromium-based browser, enabling the AI to surf the web independently from the user's personal browser session.
- Claude previously relied on a Chrome extension for web access, but this integration aligns the desktop app with competitor OpenAI, which recently incorporated a similar standalone browser feature into ChatGPT.
- Operating as a separate environment, this tool does not access personal tabs, bookmarks, or cookies by default, ensuring Claude maintains a distinct boundary from the user's private data.
- For specific sites, users can choose to share logins from Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, though Anthropic explicitly excludes banking and email accounts from the browser by default.
- Rolling out this week to Pro, Max, and Team plans on MacOS, Windows, and Linux, the feature carries potential prompt injection risks, which Anthropic advises users to manage with caution.
