Claude Cowork Adds Isolated Built-in Browser

Anthropic has integrated a separate, sandboxed Chromium instance directly into the Claude Cowork desktop app. This built-in browser allows Claude to perform web-based tasks, like pulling invoices or gathering research, without accessing the user's personal browser history, tabs, or saved passwords. Credentials can be imported site-by-site, with sensitive categories like banking excluded by default.

Why it matters

This provides a secure and isolated environment for Claude to perform web tasks, enhancing privacy and security for business users. You can confidently delegate web-based work to Claude, knowing it won't access your personal browsing data or compromise sensitive corporate information.
