Claude Clue #28: Let Claude See What You're Seeing
Claude is surprisingly good at using a web browser!
You know the feeling: you open an app you've barely touched, or one you know well that just redesigned everything, and you have no idea where anything is. Normally, that means digging through docs or clicking around until something works. Claude can skip that part for you now by working inside your browser. Whether you run Claude Code with Chrome directly or wire it up through the Playwright MCP, you get a coworker who sees exactly what's on your screen and can move around it with (or for) you: opening menus, filling forms, and even testing a new feature while you keep your attention on the actual problem.
A browser session can expose Claude to malicious pages and to anything you happen to be logged into, so don't hand over the keys to everything. I usually run this in a separate Chrome profile, but Claude Code with Chrome runs sandboxed and asks before loading a new website.
We use this every day for testing, troubleshooting, and building inside no-code tools. Tokens do cost money, but the time they save can outweigh the cost. You can find more in the Claude documentation.
Claude helped write this. It even read the docs page, so I didn't have to.
