User reviews
Pros
- Easy to use and user-friendly interface, especially for beginners.
- Helps automate repetitive browser tasks and testing, saving significant manual effort.
- Supports exporting projects to Selenium IDE and TestNG formats.
- Useful for testing applications and designs across development and production environments.
- Provides a robust set of commands and recorder features for creating and customizing test scripts.
Cons
- Recent updates (7.0 and later) cause serious compatibility issues, including breaking webpage functionality and making some websites unaccessible when the extension is enabled.
- Generated code is outdated, lacking support for newer frameworks like Selenium 4, limiting practical usability.
- Performance issues such as slowness and unreliable test execution leading to false positives and negatives.
- Reports of browser hijacking and unwanted search engine redirection after installation.
- Some functions require additional software downloads (like Katalon Studio) to fully work, contradicting claims of standalone capability.

It does not work in the latest Chrome. Nothing can be recorded.

A lot of its functions don't work without having to do some heavy digging or modifying. It says it works with Selenium frame works but its a bait and switch to get you to download Katalon Studio just to get your tests to work.

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 impact analysis details
- Critical Allows for debugging of other web apps and extensions, which can intersect with sensitive information and security boundaries.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on
Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. 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 a Chrome extension.
Katalon Recorder (Selenium tests generator) has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
