News Summary

Anthropic has initiated limited testing of a new Chrome extension that enables its Claude AI to interact with web browsers, allowing it to see webpages, click buttons, and fill out forms. This development follows Claude’s integration with calendars, documents, and other applications. Currently, this feature is available as a research preview for 1,000 users on Anthropic’s Max plan, with a waitlist for access. The company has implemented security measures to mitigate risks such as ‘prompt injection’ attacks, reducing the success rate of such attacks significantly. The testing phase is limited to trusted users in non-critical contexts, with feedback being used to enhance security further.
