I tried this on and off during some 5 years. Still can't get it to work. Even with a plain HTML table it spams signals where there are no changes. Otsledit is another thing that I use and it doesn't have this flaw. But the latter one has no sound signal.

Comments and Reviews
First, I used it to watch server status of my favorite MMO game, until I got tired of that game. Then I used it to watch for reply to my comment to one great programming post (somehow there was no RSS or email subscription). Now I developed an extension for Visual Studio and can watch for downloads counter to increase, being glad about each new user trying my creation.

This is too little for me. But I'm not willing to pay $ 12 a month for 50 tracks, or $ 28 for 150. This is local tracking that doesn't require any cloud resources!

2024 New: After I started using my own effective reliable VPNs, Distill-web-monitor is great even if limited! There is a desktop version and an extension. The extension allows unlimited free checks and 25 monitors. Old 2022: Extension... Interesting.. Monitors and has some CSS capapility. Unfortunately, the site that I go to seems to dislike it, and boots me out every time the monitor checks. Macro option requires paid subscription
