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-chrome extension version: 1.0.84 (from_webstore: true, extension id fcoeoabgfenejglbffodgkkbkcdhcgfn)
  • 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:

  1. What is the actual current live version of the claude-in-chrome extension on the Chrome Web Store?
  2. Was 1.1.9310 rolled back, or shipped under a different extension id/channel than fcoeoabgfenejglbffodgkkbkcdhcgfn?
  3. 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.
