> Anthropic silently installed a spyware bridge [browser extension native messaging permission] on my machine

> The bridge runs outside the browser's sandbox at user privilege level [1], and Native Messaging hosts do not surface in any standard macOS process or permission UI […]

> This is the capability that Anthropic pre-stages on my laptop the moment I install their desktop application. Without telling me. Without asking me. Without offering me the chance to say no.
