Anthropic announces a pilot of Claude for Chrome, a browser extension that integrates Claude AI into web browsing for tasks like summarization and writing assistance.
Update: Now available to Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans (Dec 18, 2025)After months of real-world testing, we're ready to expand to all paid plans. We've also shipped our most requested feature: an integration for Claude Code. Build in your terminal, verify in your browser, and debug with Claude reading console errors and DOM state directly. For Teams and Enterprise: Admins can enable or disable the extension org-wide and configure site allowlists and blocklists.Update: Now available to all Max plan subscribers (Nov 24, 2025)After three months of testing, Claude in Chrome is now available in beta to all Max plan subscribers. Since the research preview, we've shipped major updates including scheduled tasks, multi-tab workflows, and smarter navigation on sites you use every day. Read our release notes for the full list of updates, and our safety blog for details on prompt injection defenses and learnings from the pilot.We've spent recent months connecting Claude to your calendar, documents, and many other pieces of software. The next logical step is letting Claude work directly in your browser.We view browser-using AI as inevitable: so much work happens in browsers that giving Claude the ability to see what you're looking at, click buttons, and fill forms will make it substantially more useful.But browser-using AI brings safety and security challenges that need stronger safeguards. Getting real-world feedback from trusted partners on uses, shortcomings, and safety issues lets us build robust classifiers and teach future models to avoid undesirable behaviors. This ensures that as capabilities advance, browser safety keeps pace.Browser-using agents powered by frontier models are already emerging, making this work especially urgent. By solving safety challenges, we can better protect Claude users and share what we learn with anyone building a browser-using agent on our API.We’re starting with controlled testing: a Claude extension for Chrome where trusted users can ins
