Claude Cowork gets a built-in browser: nothing to install

AnnouncementProductAug 26, 2026

Anthropic has added a built-in browser to Claude Cowork in the Claude desktop app, letting Claude navigate sites, read pages, click, and type without requiring the Claude in Chrome extension. The browser is separate from users' own browsers and never accesses their tabs, bookmarks, or passwords. It is rolling out this week to Pro, Max, and Team plans, with Enterprise admins able to enable it now. Anthropic notes it carries prompt injection risks and runs existing safeguards.
