What's Wrong?

Tried everything claude recommends. uninstall extension, toggle on off, same gmail account for username and password, cleared cache, restarted windows etc. Claude code cannot see my cjhrome browser. Trying to connect to a webpage that does not have a connector and I cannot get far with this link.

What Should Happen?

Claude should connect to my google chrome
