Power Automate Browser Extension
SoftwareApr 3, 2026Art by Rudolf Koller
A minimal Edge/Chrome extension that keeps Power Automate flow and run URLs on the classic editor by ensuring v3=false. Runs only on make.powerautomate.com.
About
Power Automate Browser Extension is a small Manifest V3 extension for Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. It only runs on https://make.powerautomate.com/ and adjusts URLs whose path contains /flows/ or /runs/ so they use v3=false, which keeps the classic Power Automate editor loading consistently.
It adds v3=false when the parameter is missing and replaces v3=true when present. It relies on history.replaceState and History API hooks so behavior applies on first load, refresh, back/forward, and typical client-side navigation inside Power Automate.
Access — Free and open source. No Helvety account is needed. Download the packaged ZIP from this Store page and install it with your browser’s developer mode; source and issues live on GitHub.
Key features: • Scoped host — only make.powerautomate.com • URL rules — targets /flows/ and /runs/ paths • SPA-friendly — not limited to full page loads • Manifest V3 — current Edge and Chrome extension model
Microsoft may change Power Automate URLs or the editor over time; confirm behavior against the build you install and the vendor’s current documentation.
Installation
- Download the ZIP
Use the Download button on this page to save power-automate-force-v3-false.zip to your computer.
- Extract the archive
Unzip the file into a folder you can keep permanently (for example under Documents). Chromium requires a real folder on disk—you cannot point “Load unpacked” at the ZIP file itself.
- Open the extensions page (Edge)
In Microsoft Edge, go to edge://extensions (paste into the address bar). Turn on Developer mode using the toggle in the sidebar.
- Open the extensions page (Chrome)
In Google Chrome, go to chrome://extensions and enable Developer mode.
- Load the extension
Click Load unpacked and select the extracted folder—the one that contains manifest.json (not a parent directory).
- Verify in Power Automate
Open https://make.powerautomate.com/ and open or edit a flow or run. URLs should include v3=false so the classic editor loads as expected.
Access
All Helvety products are free to use with no paid tiers or subscriptions.
