Just adding some Chrome and Edge observations of impacts of the recent Katalon Recorder upgrade to 7.0.0:

Using Chrome, the storeEval command throws a Content Security Policy exception error.

Javascript errors also occur on the application under test. For example, buttons that were previously selectable can no longer be selected if the Katalon extension is active.

Even an attempt to access the Azure portal in Edge hangs if the Katalon extension is active.

Not able to upload files as part of a test. Returns an error to start the Firefox Katalon Recorder helper but I am running the test using Edge browser

The Katalon extension has to be removed from the browser to be able to run applications successfully which effectively renders Katalon version 7.0.0 has unusable at the moment.

There’s at least two threads for this already including Why is Katalon Recorder v7.0 drastically slower than v6.0.3?

They are aware of issues like this atm, and are apparently working on fixes

I’m also seeing an issue with certain pages of my application where it looks like the KR extension is affecting the version of jQuery that my page uses. I’ve stripped down my page to the bare bones to try to isolate the issue and have found out the following.

When the KR extension is disabled in Chrome and I run $().jquery to find the jQuery version in my browser console it correctly reports 3.4.1 as my local jQuery.min.js file confirms. However when I activate the extension and do the same console command it now shows as jQuery version 3.2.1. This in spite of the fact that the local jQuery file (loaded by the page) is still for 3.4.1

When the KR extension is activated the following JS files are also executing prompt.js and runScript.js - could these files be resposible in someway?
