What
Before, Claude Code sent browser actions to whichever single browser was selected. A browser action can now be aimed at a specific browser and given its own time limit. With that:
A call is refused with "its browser is no longer selected" if the selected browser changed in the meantime.
A targeted call is rejected if its browser disappears.
A targeted call cannot raise a permission prompt, the question asking you to approve an action.
When looking for browsers again, Claude Code waits for the previously selected browser extension to come back before picking one.
Why
When more than one browser is connected, actions are less likely to land in the wrong browser or jump to another one after a brief disconnect.
