I just discovered that I can paste a link into a Claude prompt and ask it to follow read the page so we can talk about it. I no longer have to copy the text of the page and paste it in. Claude uses the web_fetch command. So we're heading in the direction this article discusses.

Except that more often than not, Claude is blocked from reading the article.

This used to work great two years ago when chatgpt first got the Web browsing feature. Nowadays, no eyeballs on ads: no content.

Is one of the reasons OpenAI made a browser (Atlas) and Perplexity made Comet and Anthropic made a Chrome extension to make it impossible for the site to tell whether a person or the person's AI assistant is making the request?

It refused to read this complaint about Grok because of the NSFW topic

"The irony is they trained their model on so much porn even barely NSFW prompts get flagged because Grok the Goon Commander thinks a simple fully-clothed lapdance requires a visible massive dong being thrusted up her piehole."

Claude Code running on your machine can switch to "curl" or even Playwright if it needs to.
