What's Wrong?
Per a comment from @ashwin-ant on #39707 (2026-04-19), the window-focus-stealing bug was "fixed in Chrome extension v1.1.9310, shipped via Chrome Web Store auto-update on 2026-03-27." That issue is now closed and locked, so I'm filing a new one to ask for confirmation, since what I'm observing doesn't match.
What I'm seeing
- Installed
claude-in-chromeextension version: 1.0.84 (from_webstore: true, extension idfcoeoabgfenejglbffodgkkbkcdhcgfn) - Chrome: 151.0.7922.71 on Linux
- Auto-update is functioning normally (last successful update check/apply: 2026-07-30; no enterprise policies restricting extension updates)
- I queried the Chrome Web Store update server directly with the same protocol Chrome uses:
```
POST https://update.googleapis.com/service/update2
<request protocol="3.1"><app appid="fcoeoabgfenejglbffodgkkbkcdhcgfn" version="1.0.84"><updatecheck/></app></request>
`
Response:
xml``
<app appid="fcoeoabgfenejglbffodgkkbkcdhcgfn" status="ok"><updatecheck status="noupdate"/></app>
So as of today (2026-08-03), the Chrome Web Store itself reports 1.0.84 as current for this extension id — over four months after 1.1.9310 was reportedly shipped.
Question
Could someone confirm:
- What is the actual current live version of the
claude-in-chromeextension on the Chrome Web Store? - Was 1.1.9310 rolled back, or shipped under a different extension id/channel than
fcoeoabgfenejglbffodgkkbkcdhcgfn? - If 1.0.84 is in fact behind, is there a known reason the store update server isn't offering the newer version?
Happy to provide more diagnostics if useful.
What Should Happen?
Claude-in-chrome extension should update to the allegedly latest version (1.1.x) which contains a very important focus grabbing fix.
