What's Wrong?

When working with a browser tab opened by Claude Code in Chrome, often a reload is required to re-fetch data and access the appropriate network requests.

In most cases, Claude will try to navigate to "reload":
⏺ Claude in Chrome[navigate](reload) [View Tab]
⎿  Navigation completed

This results with the browser trying to exactly this URL, "reload", which is obviously not valid.

Claude Code always recovers from this and remembers to load the actual page:

⏺ Let me reload properly and capture the API response.

However, this seems to be an unneccessary step and waste of time & context.

What Should Happen?

Claude should reload the browser tab properly with one command.
