Anthropic has integrated a built-in browser into its Claude Cowork desktop application, a feature now being rolled out to paying subscribers. This new browser operates independently from users' regular web browsers, such as Chrome. The addition aims to streamline web-related tasks within the Claude Cowork app, potentially reducing the reliance on external browser extensions for many functions.
