[FEATURE] [Claude in Chrome] Log session conversation sidebar chats

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
• [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

Claude in Chrome's sidebar chat currently provides noaccessible (cloud or local) record of the actions it takes on a user's behalf (navigation, clicks, form fills, etc.), nor the conversation had with the user. When a browsing session ends, there's no way to review what the extension did, audit its behavior, or recover context from a previous session.
This is especially important as the extension gains more powerful capabilities like long-running workflows and scheduled tasks — the more autonomously it operates, the more users need visibility into what happened.

I noticed that two similar feature requests were recently closed and it is unclear why. Certainly, all users of Claude, be it chats, code, or for Chrome, would appreciate being able to access their past activity. This is a critical feature of all Claude products.

Why this matters:

• Context recovery: Being able to resume or reference a past browsing session is critical for when the addon misbehaves, Chrome closes, or the computer rebooted; historical conversations should be as accessible as those in Claude chat and Claude code
• Transparency / trust: Users delegating autonomous tasks need to be able to verify what was done
• Debugging: When something goes wrong mid-workflow, there's currently no trail to follow
• Privacy auditing: Users on Team/Enterprise plans in particular may need records for compliance purposes

Proposed Solution

Provide some form of session activity log, which could take one or more of these forms:

• Best option: Integration with Claude.ai's existing chat history, so browser actions are recorded inline with the conversation that triggered them
• Second best: Session history surfaced in the extension's side panel (e.g., "last session: visited 3 pages, clicked 2 buttons, filled 1 form")
• A local log file (similar to ~/.claude/chrome/chrome-native-host.log that already exists for debugging) containing a human-readable summary of actions taken per session

Alternative Solutions

None. There is no supported way to retrieve a log of what Claude in Chrome did in a session.

Use Case Example

1. I'm working on a complex, lengthy task in Claude in Chrome.
2. Suddenly, one of the following happens: The Claude session ends due to an error; Chrome crashes, the computer crashes.
3. This loses the entire work done by Claude so far, and all the tokens and time spent were for nothing.

Additional Context

The Comet browser from Peplexity has a similar side bar for conversation. When pressing the three dots at the top right of the side bar, one can see a log of the most recent conversations, and an option to "view all." See screenshot below.

Namely, Comet saves a full log of browser interactions. Claude should adopt the same approach.
