Problem Statement

Currently there's no way to revoke Claude in Chrome's access to a specific tab without closing or reloading that tab. Closing the side panel does not detach it, Chrome's debugger (CDP) session stays attached to the tab regardless of side panel state, shown by the persistent "being debugged" orange tab indicator.

Proposed Solution

Request: a per-tab "revoke access" action (e.g., in the extension's tab context menu, or a button in the side panel) that detaches Claude from that tab on demand, independent of closing the panel or the tab itself.

Alternative Solutions

_No response_

Use Case Example

I want to hand Claude a tab for a specific task, then pull access back the moment I'm done, without losing my state in that tab (form data, scroll position, etc.) by reloading, or closing a tab I still need open.
