Anthropic launches Claude for Chrome in limited beta, but prompt injection attacks remain a major concern
Anthropic launches a limited pilot of Claude for Chrome, allowing its AI to control web browsers while raising critical concerns about security and prompt injection attacks.
The San Francisco-based AI company announced Tuesday that it would pilot “ Claude for Chrome ” with 1,000 trusted users on its premium Max plan, positioning the limited rollout as a research preview designed to address significant security vulnerabilities before wider deployment. “For enterprise leaders, the key lies in automating complex, multi-tool processes where full API access is a luxury, not a guarantee,” explained Ran Xu, Director of Applied AI Research at Salesforce, pointing to customer support workflows that span multiple proprietary systems as prime use cases. The limited pilot of Claude for Chrome represents just the beginning of what industry observers expect to be a rapid expansion of computer-controlling AI capabilities across the technology landscape, with implications that extend far beyond simple task automation to fundamental questions about human-computer interaction and digital security.
