Hi.
I have noticed an alarming issue surrounding the new BETA Claude Extension in Google Chrome, where it appears to be injecting a content script too agressively which is modifiying the lang or dir attribute property of a websites DOM.
The result is that it is switching language display from English to Arabic, despite all of the websites & browsers language settings showing English.
I know it is the extension that is at fault, because as soon as I removed it, the language display settings reverted back to normal
This needs to be investigated ASAP
