Searching the web with Cowork?

I am trying to build a skill to help with job hunting. In the output I keep having old links that are no longer valid. I wonder if there’s a way to do job search like it is possible in Chat mode? It keeps saying that domains are blocked by the network proxy or that there is a sandbox restriction and I’m not sure if that can be solved or not.

Install Playwright and Selenium, these are headless browsers. Also, try the Claude Chrome extension.
After they are installed, you need to go into Settings and add the domains to the approved list.

After that, provide Claude with a list of links to browse.
This works in Cowork.

Thank you for your help. I checked out Playwright and Selenium, and am still a bit lost as to how to proceed. Should I use the Playwright MCP and Selenium WebDriver? Do you have a documentation or video to look that explains how to search the web with Cowork?

Fastest way:
1.- Install the Chrome extension

2.- Sign in
3.- After that you can just ask in Cowork to browse the web and do actions. The benefit of the Chrome extension is that it uses your cookies automatically, so no need to sign in

There are some examples of its capabilities here:

Here is a video of someone using it to read information from LinkedIn:
