Hi all, My hopes for KR were on the new 7.0.1. release to get rid off my issue with websites not loading with the KR extension active on Chrome (Windows 10 Enterprise, Chrome version 126.0.6478.127, 64 bits). Unfortunately the issue is still here. Luckely I got an older version of KR up-and-running (v 6.0.3) which works fine. I would still like the latest KR version to work though. After updating KR to v7.0.1 the KR extension is still not working. The websites will not open when de KR browser extension is active. When I disable the KR extension the websites will load properly, but testing with KR is impossible. See below for my former messaging about the v7.0.0. KR version. > [@Extension Katalon Recorder v7.0.0 not working on Chrome and Edge browsers](http://forum.katalon.com/t/extension-katalon-recorder-v7-0-0-not-working-on-chrome-and-edge-browsers/132758): > > After updating KR to v7.0.0 the KR extension is not working anymore.

Fortunately, the ā€œFirefox trickā€ is still working. Use Katalon with Firefox: it will play your scenarios. This being saidā€¦ I donā€™t understand why Katalon stopped working on Chromeā€¦ One day someone said ā€œIf itā€™s not brokenā€¦donā€™t fix itā€. When Katalon Recorder is working fine, you should keep itā€¦ Everytime I see that here is a new version, I know Iā€™ll have problemsā€¦ ---

As far as I understand, it was impossible to avoid updating to version 7.0. The fact is that extension versions 5.9-6.0.3 were based on Manifest V2. In 2024, several Chrome updates are expected to [make it impossible for older extensions based on Manifest V2 to work](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline). Therefore, it was necessary to migrate the extension to Manifest V3, which, according to the Chromium developers, should provide [greater security for users](https://blog.chromium.org/2024/05/manifest-v2-phase-out-begins.html). This may require a major change in the [extensionā€™s logic](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate). For example, the developers of Selenium IDE, due to the need to switch to Manifest V3, decided to completely abandon the development of Selenium IDE as an extension. Instead, they are now developing Selenium IDE as an [Electron application](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium-ide/wiki/Selenium-IDE-v4#why-is-v4-not-a-webextension-anymore). This application is a lightweight version of the Chrome browser, controlled using a special interface. ---

I found this: > > > The upcoming Manifest v3 changes to Chromium browser extensions will break the Sā€¦elenium IDE. (As well as Tampermonkey and many other useful extensions.) It will block any code not bundled/shipped within the extension itself. > See Google's \[announced, still-draft plans.\](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nPu6Wy4LWR66EFLeYInl3NzzhHzc-qnk4w4PX-0XMw8/edit#heading=h.5ottncv8stov) > > See also \[Tampermonkey discussion.\](https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/issues/644) > > On a \[forum they may or may not monitor\](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-extensions/d5Gms9lF3cY) I've suggested using tab-scoped permissions for executing remotely hosted scripts as an alternative to completely blocking them. Perhaps the Selenium team has contacts on the Chromium team and can talk to them about this as well? ---

I donā€™t know for sure; itā€™s a difficult question. To determine whether it is possible to convert KR in accordance with Manifest V3 without losing functionality, you need strong programming skills and a thorough understanding of the extensionā€™s code base, which is quite extensive. So far, it is evident that the Katalon developers are trying to adapt the extension to Manifest V3, and Iā€™m inclined to believe that success is quite possible (although the migration has not been entirely successful yet). I think they will most likely decide to continue developing the web extension because using the extension from the userā€™s point of view is a somewhat simpler experience than installing and using an Electron application. If Iā€™m not mistaken, KR will be in a more advantageous position compared to Selenium IDE. A similar situation occurred in the past (in 2017) when Firefox, starting with version 55, stopped supporting Selenium IDE. KR filled the void for a while, which likely attracted many new users to the Katalon ecosystem. ---

Hi Vy, the site I am testing the most is [https://acc.unive.nl/mijnunive/](https://acc.unive.nl/mijnunive/). With KR 7.0.1 enabled this site will not load and therefore testing is impossible.
