User reviews

Microsoft Power Automate Edge add-on is praised for integrating with Power Automate Desktop and being ad-free. However, many users report stability issues such as frequent disconnections, repeated installation prompts despite the extension being installed, inconsistent JavaScript execution, and limitations across browser profiles. Some find it unreliable and prone to breaking after updates, making it challenging for critical automation tasks, while others experience smooth operation.

Pros

Integrates well with Power Automate Desktop to enable browser automation.
No advertisements or pop-ups during usage.
Offers valuable functionality as part of the broader Power Platform ecosystem.
Works reliably for some users automating flows with Power Automate Desktop.

Cons

Extension often becomes unstable and disconnects from Edge, requiring reinstallation or registry edits.
Users repeatedly get prompts to install the extension even though it is already installed and registered.
Inconsistent functionality running JavaScript functions on web pages during automation flows.
Fails to work properly across multiple Edge profiles, limiting usability.
Updates (e.g., to version 2.51) sometimes break previously working automation flows.

Recent reviews

This app has a great future if given attention by its developers. It is extremely buggy. UI elements quit working after working for a while, if you can get them to co-operate at all. I have found work arounds for flows and then they crash. It is a frustrating program to run, all UI elements solution offered in the help menu are designed for developers and hard to understand for the common folk. I thought Power Automate was supposed to be easy to use. it needs serious attention. I was excited about it at first, after 2 months of frustration I am at the point of going back to no automation. I have wasted 2 months learning what doesn't work.
