⚡️ Anthropic secretly installs spyware when installing Claude Desktop

Alexander Hanff discovered: Claude Desktop, when installed on Mac, secretly registers a system bridge in all found Chromium browsers.

When installing Claude Desktop, it creates "Native Messaging manifest" files in seven browsers at once: Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, Chromium, Vivaldi, and Opera.
⁉️ These files allow the browser to run a binary file from Anthropic outside the browser sandbox. With the current user's permissions.

This happens silently. Without mention in settings)

This is not a test artifact, but part of the official release.

😕 Let's figure it out here
