Claude in Chrome
Three approval modes: Manually approve, Automatically approve and Skip all approvals. Auto, where a safety check reviews each action, is the default in the Cowork side panel. Some actions, like purchases and permanent deletions, are blocked in every mode.
Lock this down first
Switch to Manually approve for anything touching money, messages or important files. On Team or Enterprise, set a site allowlist.
Scorecard

|---|---|---|
| Permission granularity | 3/3 | Per-site permissions, protected actions that always ask, and a fixed list of prohibited actions. Admins can set allowlists and blocklists. |
| Human approval gates | 1/3 | Manually approve is opt-in. Automatically approve, where a model reviews each action, is the default in the Cowork side panel. |
| Sandboxing | Unverified | Not confirmed in the docs we checked. |

| Audit logs | 1/3 | Extension settings show your permission history and approved sites. |
| Kill switch / interrupt | Unverified | Not confirmed in the docs we checked. |
| Network egress control | 2/3 | Team and Enterprise admins can limit Claude to allowlisted sites or block sites, whatever users allow. |
