It controls whether Cowork\/Code sessions can drive the user's Chrome\/Edge browser via the extension \u2014 navigating, reading the page, clicking, typing, and taking screenshots. Desktop and the extension pair via a signed identity check against the Anthropic API, this requires `isLocalDevMcpEnabled` to remain enabled, and it's available on macOS\/Windows only.\n\n- Area: Chrome & Browser\n- Names: `claudeInChromeEnabled`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
