Anthropic Boosts Chrome with Claude Cowork and Its Plugins

Claude Cowork now operates directly within the sidebar of Anthropic's Chrome extension. The extension already existed and allowed users to read the page they were on, click, type, and fill out forms. Until now, this meant navigating and gathering information. The new feature is that a full session of Claude Cowork now runs directly inside the panel.

This means that skills, plugins, and connectors work for the first time in the browser, without any additional setup. Claude in Chrome handles the research, and Cowork transforms it into Excel files, PowerPoint slides, or reports. Anthropic lists a few use cases:

Extracting metrics from analytics dashboards
Organizing Google Drive
Recording sales calls in Salesforce

Claude asks for confirmation before making purchases. Sessions are linked to your account, not your device.

Anthropic continues to warn against hidden instructions on websites. Like all LLM interfaces, the extension remains a potential attack vector for command injections. The company advises against using it with banking or health data. The update is now available for all paid plans via the Chrome Web Store.
