Story

Anthropic highlighted a Browser pane that runs in a clean, isolated profile with none of your logins or history, meant for building and testing apps. For someone living in Claude Code daily, this closes the write-then-manually-verify loop. The agent can drive and inspect the UI it just generated without wiring up a separate browser MCP server, and the isolated profile makes pointing it at untrusted pages safe during testing. Small feature, real workflow change.
