- Rated 3 out of 5by Kuero, 3 years agoDecent page monitor for finding deals. Problem is the extension icon will show a notification number for ANY change in the page element being monitored, regardless of how small, even $0.01. This means the extension icon is constantly begging me to click on it even if nothing interesting has happened, wasting my time. It should only show the number when a change matches a condition you have set say, only if "element"<$15.

posted 3 years agoHave you configured the tracker properly and set that condition in place?
If yes and it still doesn't work, please contact our support email (send of picture of your tracker settings) and we can help. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15121920, 4 years agoFor the price of free, I appreciate the effort and time spent to make this extension, so in that regard, five full stars! I hope people will not hesitate to try this extension because it does work,
However in the content of review, I've given this a three star rating. The interface and UI is a little rough. Not terrible, just rough, and I wish there was slightly more documentation for the options available, and I'd technically only knock off a half-star for that, but that's not an option here!
Also, the lack of image tracking support knocks off a full star as well. I feel like with the complexity of the text-based options, that this is a bit of an oversight, even with the stated goal of the project.
But really, good job otherwise!Developer response
posted 4 years agoDid you check the PageProbe help file? What is missing from that?
Most img tags on pages have attributes like "src", "style" or "class" that you can track. Just append e.g. @src to the selector and you can track the source of the image.
Scanning images on bitmap level would be infeasible anyway. - Rated 3 out of 5by 123, 4 years agoThe functionality seems to be there. That is if you understand how to use it. The User Interface, user experience are terrible. I don't know if the extension is working or not most of the time.. For example, i add one tracking. A "1" apears on the extension icon in browser. Than i click on the extension addon icon and the number dissapears.. Does this mean that is disabled ?

posted 4 years agoThe number on the WebExtension icon indicates how many trackers have scanned new content since the last time you opened PageProbe UI. When the UI is opened, the counter is reset. - Rated 3 out of 5by MPeti1, 4 years agoLive Content scan mode does not seem to work, page value will be empty both on first load of the page, and both when changing the innerText of the element in the console manually. Otherwise the documentation is a bit crude (especially on the scan modes, how do they work), but if the value is available right on page load, it'll work.
it would be nice if there would be error logging (code 600 is not shown in most of the times when the scanner does not work), and also if I could write custom JS code to be executed after page load but before scanning for the values.Developer response
posted 4 years agoEDIT: There was a bug that is fixed in 1.32.0 (that is pending review in Mozilla Add-on Store review queue).
EDIT 2: 1.32.0 is now finally available.
Live Content monitoring does work e.g. on http://bitcointicker.co/ (monitor bitcoin price). If it doesn't work for you, there might be an issue with the tracker setup or the website. Either way, please send support requests to nodetics AT gmail.com instead of putting them in reviews. - Rated 3 out of 5by Korwin, 4 years agoПлюсы: приложение заявлено, как чрезвычайно функциональное. Тут тебе и интеллектуальное распознавание идентификаторов области отслеживания, и уйма настроек действий, включая всевозможные уведомления, сортировка по папкам, индивидуальные и дефолтные настройки подписок, работа с динамичными страницами, случайные задержки в указанных пределах, импорт / экспорт... Но - "не шмогла". Решил настроить уведомлялки на вакансии 1С Game Studios (1C Entertainment) с их сайта. нужный блок начинается с [div class="content_full jobs_list"], и заканчивается [footer]. Вставил content_full jobs_list. Что именно вносить в "Current Content" я не понял, и оставил поле пустым. Выставил Dynamic Content. После сканирования получил ошибку 600. Мол, "CSS Selector did not match any content. Try increasing 'Wait Before Scanning' value". Выставил задержку 5 с - без изменений. Исправил на class="content_full jobs_list" - аналогично. Дополнению очень не помешал бы инструмент выделения, как у Adblock Plus. Upd. к версии 1.35.1 от 21.06.2021: задал область отслеживания, запустил повторное сканирование, отобразилось уведомление о найденном отличии, на значке дополнения появился красный значок, но в moz-extension://.../pageprobe.html ("View Log") — "No log entries yet". Как так "yet", когда только что показал сообщение, что — есть?!
