Anthropic Adds Built-in Chromium Browser to Claude Desktop App for 3 Paid Tiers

Summary
Claude Cowork now includes its own Chromium-based browser inside Anthropic’s desktop app, letting the AI assistant open pages, click buttons and fill forms without a separate extension.
The feature is rolling out on macOS, Windows and Linux to Pro, Max and Team subscribers, while Enterprise admins can enable it for their organizations.
Anthropic says the browser runs separately from users’ normal browsing, so Claude cannot access existing tabs, bookmarks or saved passwords unless specific logins are selectively imported.
That isolation addresses privacy concerns as Anthropic pushes Claude toward more autonomous web tasks, though the company said prompt-injection safeguards reduce — but do not eliminate — the risk.
