You should give your coding agent everything it needs to fully test its work *before* it submits for your review. This saves a bunch of time.

Often, to do a full test, the agent needs to open a web browser and *actually use* your app.

To give Claude Code this ability:

1. Type `/chrome` in Claude Code (or go to `Settings > Connectors` in Claude Desktop).
2. Select "Enabled by default".

Then, when making plans, tell Claude "test in Chrome".

Claude for Chrome uses your regular Chrome profile. This avoids hassle from bot-blockers and login walls. The security:convenience tradeoff makes sense for most people.
