I Let Claude Look at My Browser Tabs. It Found Its Own Session and Started Arguing With Itself.

I told Claude it could look at my browser tabs. An hour later, it was typing into its own chat window, pretending to be me. Not a second instance. Not a separate session. The same conversation.

And the Claude that received it had no idea it was talking to itself. How this happened I have Chrome DevTools MCP set up with Claude Code. It can list open pages, take screenshots, read the DOM, fill form fields, press keys. Standard browser automation. One of my open tabs was the very session I was in.
