TLDR:
- Using VERY HIGH RISK Debugger Permission that malicious websites can exploit to get device access. Very surprising a major tech company shipping product with such risky permissions to consumers. More info on debugger risks: https://dspace.networks.imdea.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.12761/1704/eurosp2023-final51.pdf?sequence=1 https://dspace.networks.imdea.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.12..., https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40091993 https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40091993.
- Prompt injection risks combined with Debugger permission on user device is asking for trouble.
- Will trigger captchas/bot detection even on your normal browsing due to this permission.
- Kind of slow. Limited to current open tab as opposed to capability of multi tab action because only current active tab get rendered. For example rtrvr.ai can open a batch of tabs and take actions on background tabs.
- For some websites like Bloomberg asking to go to claude.com
