Does anybody know what happened to this extension? It appears to just vanish from the Plugin Store. and while its still installed on my browser won't let me reenabled it anymore. This was one of the best Dynamics 365 Plugins out there. Why woudl this get taken down?

The company I work for used Power Pane extensively and we noticed the moment it was taken off the Play store. Google has marked it as containing malware. Upon further research, this unfortunately appears to be true.

You can see here that it has been removed from the web store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/dynamics-365-power-pane/eadknamngiibbmjdfokmppfooolhdidc. The repository was archived on GitHub https://github.com/onurmenal/crm-power-pane.
Coincidentally, they did that 8 days before this post which states Power Pane (among other extensions) had been reported for containing malware: https://palant.info/2024/10/30/the-karma-connection-in-chrome-web-store/
Tl;Dr: Power Pane developers sold out to incorporate malware into their Chrome extension. Their greed has left a lot of Dynamics developers and users without one of the most powerful resources we had available to us.

While it's not a direct replacement, I find XRM Toolbox and its extensions are very helpful in looking for a lot of the data I would have got from Power Pane.

Are post replies moderated? My first reply didn't appear, trying again. Check out LevelUp (chrome | edge). It's has many more features than Power Pane, I probably use it everyday, highly recommend it.

@Jeff - Yep I also use LevelUp, one of the only apps that supports impersonation, which is the best part I like about. Wish it would modernize the UI a bit, bit hard on the eyes, but that is also a great tool.

@CU19111424 - I wasn't aware there was a Dyn365 Power Pane, not sure if this is the same devleoper or not, but this looks super promising. Will have to look at using this. I'm seeing alot of useful features that Level Up is missing, especially the open new Form Editor. Thanks All!
