Claude Code built-in browser lets AI read and interact with websites

Claude Code now has a built-in browser that lets AI open, read, and interact with external web pages—including clicking buttons and entering text. Write operations on external sites are reviewed by a classifier; operations involving purchases or account creation require manual approval. This is a big deal for developers who frequently interact with web pages—e.g., for end-to-end testing, form validation, or real-time data scraping. They can now accomplish these tasks directly through Claude Code conversations without writing extra scripts to drive a browser. Security protections are in place: write operations are screened, and high-risk actions require user confirmation, preventing the AI from making unauthorized purchases or registrations.
