🚨 Claude just got EXPOSED for sneaky spyware!
Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop.
• Installing Claude Desktop may silently add hidden system components
• A “native messaging bridge” gets injected into multiple browsers
• Even browsers you don’t use or that aren’t supported
• Pre-authorizes extensions that can run in the background
• Users are NOT clearly informed about this
• Raises serious privacy & security concerns
Critics say this looks like “spyware-like behavior,” not normal software
If true, this is a massive trust issue for Anthropic
