According to their own blog post, even after mitigations, the model still has an 11% attack success rate. There's still no way I would feel comfortable giving this access to my main browser. I'm glad they're sticking to a very limited rollout for now. (Sidenote, why is this page so broken? Almost everything is hidden.)

The strong sense I got from reading this is that they don't believe it's possible to safely do this sort of thing right now, and they want to warn people away from Perplexity etc. so they can avoid losing market share while also not launching a not-yet-ready product.

(The more interesting question will be whether they have any means to eventually make it safe. I'm pretty skeptical about it in the near term.)

This is directly contradicted by one of the first sentences in the article:

  We've spent recent months connecting Claude to your 
  calendar, documents, and many other pieces of software. The 
  next logical step is letting Claude work directly in your 
  browser.
Ascribing altruism to the quoted intent is dissembling at best.
