Anthropic adds built-in browser to Claude desktop app

First reported

VentureBeat ran this on 26 August, a day before the other 2 sources picked it up.

Claude can now open websites in a side panel within the desktop app, letting it fill forms and extract data from password-protected portals.
The browser runs separately from your personal browser, so Claude cannot access your tabs, bookmarks, or passwords without explicit transfer.
Logins can be moved manually from Chrome, Edge, or Firefox to Claude's browser one page at a time, though banking and email sites are blocked.
The feature rolls out this week to Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise customers.
