The browser tools stay available.\n\nClaude Code now also reports this to apps that host it, such as the VS Code extension. When the variable is set, those hosts drop their own browser instructions too.\n\n**Why**\n\nTurning the Chrome guidance off now takes it out of the prompt everywhere, including instructions added by an editor, while Claude can still use the browser.\n\n- Area: Chrome & Browser\n- Names: `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CFC_PROMPT`, `\/claude-in-chrome`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
