That lets it fill out forms or pull numbers from a dashboard, even on portals without an API.\n\nThe browser stays separate from your own, so Claude can't see your tabs, bookmarks, or passwords. You can move logins over one page at a time from Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, though banking and email sites are off-limits. For pages you already have open and are signed into, the [Chrome extension](https://the-decoder.de/anthropics-claude-cowork-laeuft-jetzt-im-seitenpanel-von-chrome/) remains the way to go.\n\nAnthropic warns about prompt injection risks and tells users to stick to trusted websites. The browser rolls out this week for Pro, Max, and Team plans, along with Enterprise customers.\n\n```\nAI News Without the Hype – Curated by Humans\n\n\t\t\t\t\tSubscribe to THE DECODER for ad-free reading, a weekly AI newsletter, our exclusive \"AI Radar\" frontier report six times a year, full archive access, and access to our comment section.\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\tSubscribe now\n```\n\n[Anthropic](https://claude.com/blog/cowork-built-in-browser/)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-cowork-now-runs-its-own-browser-inside-the-desktop-app", "canonical_source": "https://the-decoder.com/claude-cowork-now-runs-its-own-browser-inside-the-desktop-app/", "published_at": "2026-08-27 09:54:46+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-27 10:20:24.835473+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-agents", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Anthropic", "Claude Cowork", "Chrome", "Edge", "Firefox"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-cowork-now-runs-its-own-browser-inside-the-desktop-app", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-cowork-now-runs-its-own-browser-inside-the-desktop-app.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-cowork-now-runs-its-own-browser-inside-the-desktop-app.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-cowork-now-runs-its-own-browser-inside-the-desktop-app.jsonld"}}
