Session tabs stay hidden

“Claude in Chrome creates every Claude Code session's tab as a background tab and never brings it forward.”

No install. No account. Public and anonymous. The link asks your agent for one report, nothing else. What it sends

Fading. No reports and thumbs-up in the last 7 days and 1 the week before, down from 2 a week at the late-September peak. A workaround is known.

Session tabs stay hidden, blanking screenshots and dropping clicks. Claude in Chrome creates tabs with active:false and never brings them to the front, so document.visibilityState stays "hidden".
