What's Wrong?

Bug: Claude in Chrome extension not connecting to Cowork

Platform: Windows

What's happening:
Cowork can no longer access Chrome. The Claude in Chrome extension is installed, enabled, and signed into the correct account — but Cowork reports it as not connected.

What I've tried:

• Reloaded the Chrome extension
• Toggled the extension off and on
• Restarted Chrome and the Claude Desktop app
• Signed out and back in to both the extension and the desktop app
• Verified both are signed into the same account

Additional info:
This was working previously and stopped at some point. Everything appears connected but Cowork cannot reach the browser.

This appears to match issues #48806, #44541, and #36626.

What Should Happen?

Resolve this so i can connect to the chrome extension again.
