See what changed in your category this week
Installs down and no clear reason? Start with what moved around you. For every category we list which of the 100 most-used extensions shipped an update, asked for different permissions, or changed name or publisher in the last 7 days.
Across the store in the last 7 days: 17,830 updates, 2,919 permission changes and 1,555 name or publisher changes.
A drop is worrying. Guessing makes it worse.
We can’t see your installs or your store traffic: only your developer dashboard shows those. What we can show is what changed around you, from our own checks of each listing, so you can rule causes in or out before you change anything.

Each card counts how many of the 100 most-used extensions in that category changed something in the last 7 days. Open one to see who, and what.

- Changes outside the 100 most-used extensions in each category. Watch an extension to follow it whatever its size.
