When executing tests in Chrome in a security restricted environment, I have also the same error : “Loading the unpacked extension is disabled by the administrators.” If I close the error popup, test seems to execute properly. But I have to close the popup every single time I execute test, otherwise the test doesn’t even start. So is this extension usefull in that case too ? ---

Hi @marc.etienne-prestat, In this document, we mentioned that we already published Katalon Web Recorder to prevent unpacked extension issues while recording actions. In case you run the test, this may be related to Katalon Smart Wait. Please disable Smart Wait in **Project Settings/Execution/Web UI**. ![Screen Shot 2021-06-18 at 4.01.05 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/3X/5/b/5bcd0735c71e5ca41595ebd19f61194b36e51496.png) ---

Thanks @duyluong, It’s good to know, but unfortunately, disabling Smart Wait can make the test fail at runtime. ---
