That message already forbade getting around the limit with `curl` or `wget`, third-party readers, proxies and archives. It now also forbids querying search engines in a browser or through a computer-use tool, a tool that lets Claude operate a computer's screen, mouse and keyboard.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude should stop searching once the allowance is gone instead of finding another route to a search engine.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
