3333 <p className="digest-feature-lede">The Chrome integration is out of preview for everyone on a direct Anthropic plan. Claude Code drives your browser through the Claude in Chrome extension: it opens tabs, clicks through pages, fills forms, reads console logs, and shares your login state, so it can test the app it builds without you switching contexts.</p>

4444 <p className="digest-feature-lede">Claude now keeps working while subagents run and picks up their results when they finish, instead of pausing the conversation to wait. Claude still runs a subagent in the foreground when it needs the result before continuing, and background subagents surface every permission prompt in your main session. Pin a subagent's behavior with the <code>background</code> frontmatter field.</p>

You get the same Chat, Cowork, and Claude Code experience as macOS and Windows: parallel sessions, visual diff review, an integrated terminal and editor, and live app preview. Installs from Anthropic's apt repository, so updates arrive through regular package updates.</p>
