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.

What

The "Claude in Chrome" browser extension now supports multiple Chromium-based browsers beyond just Google Chrome.

  • Auto-detects installed browsers and configures native messaging hosts for each
  • Registers appropriate Windows registry keys for each browser
  • Cross-platform support (macOS, Linux, Windows)
Evidence

txA at line 295966 (browser config object with "brave", "arc", "edge", "chromium", "vivaldi", "opera" entries and NativeMessagingHosts paths)

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