Claude in Chrome Troubleshooting

Updated in the last 15 minutes

Claude in Chrome is available in beta for all paid plans (Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise) on the Chrome web browser.

This article helps you resolve common issues with Claude in Chrome and explains how to provide feedback.

Claude can't see the webpage

  • Refresh the page and ensure the extension is enabled.

  • Check that you've granted permission for the current site.

  • Some sites with heavy JavaScript may require a moment to fully load.

Actions aren't working correctly

  • Ensure you're using the latest version of Chrome.

  • Disable other extensions that might interfere with webpage interaction.

  • Try refreshing the page and starting the task again.

Extension won't install or sign in

  • Verify you have an active paid plan subscription (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise).

  • If you're on a Team or Enterprise plan, confirm with your admin that the extension is enabled for your organization.

  • Clear your browser cache and cookies for claude.ai (see Delete cookies from a site).

  • Try signing out and back into your Claude account.

Performance issues

  • Close unnecessary tabs to free up browser resources.

  • Consider breaking complex tasks into smaller steps.

Claude can't access a website

  • Check that you've granted permission for the site (see Claude in Chrome Permissions Guide).

  • The site may be in Claude's default blocked categories (financial services, banking, investment platforms, cryptocurrency exchanges, adult content, pirated content).

  • If you're on a Team or Enterprise plan, your admin may have restricted access to this site. Contact your admin for more information.

The extension won’t connect to Claude Desktop or Claude Code

  • Start by restarting or updating the Chrome extension if it isn’t connecting to Claude Code or Claude Desktop.

  • If the Claude in Chrome toggle isn’t active in your desktop app Connector settings, restart or update Claude Desktop.

  • Restart or update Claude Code if the extension won’t connect to it.


Usage Limits

Usage limits apply across different interfaces, so using Claude in Chrome will count against the same Max plan limits that apply to Claude or Claude Code. Browser interactions are more compute-intensive than regular chats with Claude, so you can expect the extension to use more of your limit. With the long-running workflow capabilities, tasks can continue for extended periods, which may use more of your usage allocation.


Giving Feedback

Your feedback directly shapes how we improve Claude's browser capabilities and safety measures.

How to report issues

  • Thumbs up/down on Claude's responses in the side panel.

  • Report suspected prompt injection if Claude behaves unexpectedly.

  • Contact Support for technical issues or account problems.

What we're learning

  • Which websites work best with Claude

  • Common failure modes and how to prevent them

  • Most valuable use cases for browser use

  • Effective safety measures that don't disrupt workflow

  • Types of attempted malicious attacks

Note: Features and functionality may change as we develop this beta feature based on user feedback and safety considerations.
