Work & OperationsDone with Claude Code, Claude in Chrome Oct 19, 2026
Let Claude Code drive your logged-in Chrome browser
Users type a task into Claude Code and it uses their logged-in Chrome session through the official extension; the thread compares this with other browser-agent setups.
- What They Did
- The post compares two setups for giving Claude Code a signed-in browser. With the official route, you launch `claude --chrome`, log in, and Claude uses your existing Chrome profile to click and type step by step in that window; with ego lite, you install the `/ego-browser` skill, import your Chrome profile in one click, then Claude runs in a separate browser space and writes short JavaScript to batch actions, while you can watch or take over and keep final submits, CAPTCHAs, 2FA, and payments for yourself.
- How It Went
- The thread does not report a hands-on result from the poster using the official extension; it mainly lays out tradeoffs. It cites ego’s own benchmark at 93.5% completion versus 77.4% for Browser Use’s local runtime, with $1.75 versus $3.14 model cost per completed task, but says those numbers were not run with Claude Code and do not compare against the Claude extension.
- Worth Knowing
- ego lite is described here as Mac-only, and the poster says some sites may ask you to log in again after importing your Chrome profile.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Using the Claude in Chrome extension, open my logged-in Chrome and do this task: [describe the task, e.g. find the latest invoice in [site name] and download it]. Work only on [site or sites], and tell me each step you take. The job is done when [finished result, e.g. the file is saved to [folder] and you've told me its name]. Before you submit any form, send any message, make any payment, or delete anything, pause and show me exactly what you're about to do.
Do this with a skill.
