Don’t try to support your arguments by pasting paragraphs of text from ChatGPT.

That said, there is a little nugget of useful information in there: “To do this, they install a corporate root certificate on all employee devices.”

This is true: if you are using a device which has had a root certificate installed on it you are vulnerable to MITM attacks. I would argue that your employer stealing your Anthropic API key is a pretty low risk compared to everything else that is wrong with that scenario!

Your original message above also mentioned coffee shop WiFi: that’s not a threat here. Your coffee shop has not installed a root certificate in your device.

Yup, for development purposes I've used a self-generated root and signed certificates for it (and I also understand the risks).

Though, on topic, Claude enabling access for browsers adds nothing specific to this risk - it's a generic risk for any TLS connection.
