Claude in Chrome is a browser extension that lets Claude read web pages and interact with them by clicking, typing, navigating, and filling forms. Its Chrome side panel keeps tasks alongside the page, including summarizing tabs, extracting details, and carrying out site workflows step by step. Claude can also run browser workflows in the background. Everyday examples include work with Google Drive, calendars, email, and Salesforce, as well as promotional email cleanup and competitor research. A separate safety check reviews actions for risk and hidden site instructions; purchases, financial actions, and other irreversible actions require your approval. Claude Code can build in a terminal while the extension checks the result in a browser. The extension is included on paid Claude plans. Pro is $17/user/mo (annual); it is $20 when billed monthly. Claude in Chrome requires Google Chrome and does not support other Chromium-based browsers or mobile devices. Anthropic cautions that its prompt-injection protections are not foolproof and advises against sensitive workflows.
Who it is for
It suits people who want Claude to summarize pages, extract information, or handle browser tasks while they work elsewhere. Teams using Claude Code may also use it to verify browser results, but users should note the Chrome-only requirement and safety cautions.
