User reviews

After using Katalon Recorder, I found it to be highly flexible and a solid replacement for iMacro. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy to use, even for beginners. Some advantages I noticed: ✅ Highly flexible – Can be used for various types of browser automation. ✅ Supports multiple commands – Similar to iMacro but with more advanced features. ✅ Good integration – Can be exported to Selenium for further automation scripting. Overall, my experience with Katalon Recorder has been very positive, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable browser automation tool.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Katalon Recorder (Selenium tests generator) requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.
