Claude AI Now Navigates Web for Pro Users
21 Dec
Summary
- Claude's new Chrome extension navigates websites and fills forms.
- Pro subscription costs $20 monthly for the browser extension.
- Users can control site permissions and high-risk actions.
Anthropic has launched its Claude chatbot as a Chrome extension, enabling paying subscribers to utilize its advanced browsing capabilities. The extension allows Claude to navigate websites, complete forms, and manage tasks across multiple tabs, offering a significant step forward in AI-powered browsing assistance. This feature is available for $20 per month with a Pro subscription, representing a reduction from earlier beta access tiers.
While supported on Chromium-based browsers like Brave and Opera, Firefox, Safari, and Edge are not officially included. Anthropic has implemented safety measures to mitigate risks like prompt injection attacks, including user control over site permissions and automatic blocking of high-risk websites such as financial institutions and adult content sites. Users will be prompted before executing potentially sensitive actions.
This development aligns with the growing trend of 'agentic AI,' where AI performs actions on behalf of the user. Competitors like OpenAI have also introduced similar browser integrations. Free users can access comparable features through other platforms like Perplexity Comet, indicating a broadening landscape for AI browser tools.
