Anthropic has officially announced that the Claude Chrome extension is now fully available to all paid Claude Pro, Team, and Enterprise users, without needing to queue or apply. This plugin, hailed as "the strongest Claude assistant in the browser," has completely changed the way AI interacts with web pages, allowing paying users to directly call Claude in the browser sidebar to complete almost any task within the browser.
Core Features: Persistent Sidebar + Multi-Tab Collaboration The plugin uses a persistent sidebar design, allowing you to quickly summon the Claude chat window and support simultaneous operations across multiple tabs. Users can: ask Claude directly about the content of the current webpage
Let Claude analyze, summarize, translate, and rewrite the page text
Multi-Tab Collaboration: Copy content from page A and continue processing on page B
Seamless integration with the existing Claude web bookmark
Heavyweight New Capability: Code Execution and Debugging Within the Browser The most exciting thing is that the plugin now includes the Claude Code feature. Paid users can directly: let Claude write, run, and test JavaScript code
Read console logs in real time (console.log)
Capture and analyze client-side errors (JS runtime errors)
Automatically inject CSS or modify the DOM
This means developers no longer need to switch to an IDE or external terminal, but can directly complete the entire process of "writing code - debugging - verifying" within the browser, which has been called by the community "the true browser AI programming assistant."
Usage Barrier: Must Have a Paid Claude Subscription It should be noted that this plugin is currently only available for use by Claude Pro/Team/Enterprise users, and does not support free versions or API Key calls. Anthropic emphasized that this move is to ensure service stability and data security.
Community Reaction: Instantly Deified After the release of the plugin, the developer community quickly flooded with enthusiasm. Many people said: "This is what I expected from a browser AI!" "Finally, I don't have to copy web content to the Claude web version anymore." "Writing code directly in DevTools, efficiency doubles instantly." AIbase believes that the full release of the Claude Chrome plugin marks that AI assistants are accelerating from being "chat tools" to "operating system-level productivity tools." In the future, "AI-native browsers" may no longer be science fiction, but rather a daily standard for every paying user.
Usage Entry:
Search "Claude for Chrome" on the Chrome Web Store → After installation, log in with your paid Claude account to activate all features. Claude paid users, hurry to the Chrome store to unlock your "browser superpower"!
