- Claude's Cowork now runs as a full session inside Chrome's sidebar, extending the browser-based assistant into a desktop workspace.
- Claude can pull data from open browser tabs and carry the active session from Chrome to the desktop, per the headline consensus across 9to5Mac, Engadget, Digital Trends, and Tech My Money.
Why it matters: The update collapses the wall between Claude's in-browser and desktop experiences, so users who start a task in a Chrome tab can continue it on their desktop without losing context. For Claude users, the side panel shifts from a snippet viewer to a persistent workspace tethered to their browsing.
