Anthropic launched Claude for Chrome, an AI agent for Chrome browsers, available to 1000 Max plan subscribers ($100-$200/month). It lets users chat with Claude, giving it permission to perform browser tasks. This move intensifies the AI browser race, spurred by Google's potential Chrome sale. Safety concerns exist, with vulnerabilities like prompt injection attacks highlighted. Anthropic implemented defenses, reducing attack success rates from 23.6% to 11.2%. The agent has improved since a slower October 2024 PC version, though complex tasks still pose challenges.
