DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Chrome Integration: Clearer Offer Flow

The Claude-in-Chrome integration now has cleaner offer and rejection messaging:

  • The startup offer now shows "Yes, use my browser" and "No, keep browser tools off" options explicitly
  • "Turn browser tools off for future sessions" guidance added
  • "This session is in Auto mode, so an AI classifier approves routine browser actions — you are only prompted when it is unsure" message
  • "This session is in Don't Ask mode, so browser actions that need approval are skipped rather than prompted" message
  • "Site-level permissions come from the Chrome extension" clarification
  • The old hardcoded system-prompt paragraph about the claude-in-chrome skill has been removed; Chrome integration is now handled through the normal MCP machinery
Evidence

Chrome flow updates (search for "Yes, use my browser" and "Turn browser tools off for future sessions")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
