More Resilient Reconnects
After a brief disconnect, Claude in Chrome now waits up to 6 seconds for the session's own browser to return before picking another. Separately, when the connection drops mid-action, Claude Code no longer reports the extension as not connected. Claude now checks the page before repeating an action that may have already run.
Larger Script Results
javascript_tool results of up to 60,000 characters now stay in the conversation instead of being saved to a file.
Shortcuts Tools Removed
Claude Code removed shortcuts_list and shortcuts_execute, which listed and started shortcuts saved in the extension, from its built-in Claude in Chrome tools. Anyone who triggered saved extension shortcuts through Claude Code will no longer be able to. The release notes do not name a replacement.
