Connect Claude Code to your real browser for authenticated testing

This is a technical guide explaining how to use Anthropic's Claude in Chrome browser extension together with Claude Code CLI to enable AI-assisted browser automation and testing. It covers setup steps, supported browsers, permission requirements, and safe-use practices. The guide focuses on use cases like localhost testing, authenticated dashboards, and browser QA workflows.
Users install the official Claude in Chrome extension, then connect it from Claude Code via a CLI flag or in-session command, giving Claude access to the existing browser session for testing and inspection tasks
