Concern over whether Claude for Chrome can see other Chrome profiles
is being used inside a separate as a safety measure. When is active, Chrome shows a message saying Claude has started debugging the browser.
That message appears in every open Chrome window, including windows from other s where the extension is not installed. The core concern is whether could potentially access all open Chrome windows, even across other profiles.
Another concern is whether a version could reach those profiles even if it is not actively using them now. There is no clear answer yet on whether this is only a browser-wide notice or a sign of real access.

- The debugging message appears in all open Chrome windows.
- The message also appears in s where the extension is not installed.
- The main question is whether can access windows across profiles.
