How to Install Claude in Chrome
1. Open Chrome’s Extensions Menu
Open Google Chrome on your computer and click the Extensions icon. It usually looks like a puzzle piece near the top-right corner. Select Manage extensions.
2. Open the Chrome Web Store
Click the link to open the Chrome Web Store, then search for Claude.
3. Choose the Official Extension
Select the Claude extension published by Anthropic. Avoid similarly named extensions from unknown publishers.
4. Add Claude to Chrome
Click Add to Chrome, then confirm by selecting Add extension.
5. Sign In and Authorize
When prompted, sign in with your Claude account and authorize the extension. The current official listing says Claude in Chrome is available to paid Claude subscribers.
6. Pin Claude to Your Toolbar
Open Chrome’s Extensions menu again, find Claude, and click the pin icon. This makes Claude easy to open whenever you need it.
7. Open Claude’s Browser Sidebar
Click the pinned Claude icon and follow the welcome screens. Once the sidebar opens, you can describe the task you want Claude to perform.
For example, you might ask Claude to read a webpage, summarize information, fill out a draft form, or help you complete a repetitive browser workflow.
Choose the Right Permission Setting
Claude can ask for approval before taking actions, or you can pre-approve certain actions so it can work more independently.
If you are just getting started, use approval mode. Review what Claude plans to do before it interacts with important websites.
Only use more autonomous settings for trusted, low-risk tasks. Always review sensitive information and completed forms before submitting them.
Important Safety Tips
- Install the extension only from the official Chrome Web Store listing.
- Start with websites you trust.
- Do not give browser agents unnecessary access to financial, medical, legal, or private accounts.
- Review messages, purchases, submissions, and account changes before confirming them.
- Be careful of hidden instructions on webpages that try to manipulate an AI agent.

Final Thoughts
Claude in Chrome can save time by helping with repetitive browser tasks, but it should be treated like an assistant—not an invisible replacement for your judgment.
Install it from the official link, start with approval mode, and gradually expand what it can do as you become comfortable with it.
