    Web sites with Chrome / Chromium and monitor the Page extension to monitor changes

    Filed under: Events;

    Also I just can not erwahren the 99 € hype surrounding the HP touchpad. Get for the price of a dual-core tablet with just under 10 inches, would have been a bit strong. However, the most difficult or even impossible, as the homepage of HP completely overrun and virtually all other online stores are sold out, the touchpad, the HP had to offer in this price.This leaves only the stores that have the unit still on offer, reduced the price as yet. But as we learn when these stores have adjusted the price? I did not feel like the day a number of pages in the browser to open and have to take turns pressing F5. With Specto there is a program in the sources of most distributions that can monitor web pages for changes, but like the add-on monitor page for Chrome / Chromium me better because it makes the page display a very just one specific location of a web page checked on a change to.

    After installing the add-ons you can find another button in the task bar of Chrome / Chromium. Once you're on the side to be tested, you can by clicking on the button to activate the monitor when changes to the website just a letter you will be notified of this change.

    However, the “entire” monitoring can be quite annoying, because most Web pages today are dynamically somehow. I.e. it will be on every page request any other testimonials loaded, the Twitter messages are changing etc. Ie Page suggests complete a review of the so so good as always. Therefore, you must still make a bit of the options work fine. Right-clicking the icon and you end up in this.

    There you can see

    Now all websites that track the current Page Monitor. Look at the bottom of the first best “Advanced Settings”. There you can set whether and how you would like to be notified of a change, and how often a website should be checked. In my case, I present here only a few minutes, I still hope so quietly on a bargain.

    Said before it's often important to check only a certain section on the change point. In my case, I would like to control the price of the HP touch pad. In the options, so you can leave for the observation of the “Custom Mode” and then select Open on the “pick” the website in a special “selection mode”. There now follows the mouse cursor is a dashed rectangle that represents the area to be monitored, a click is in the area that the selection so that you can close the tab again.

    In the options you can about “test” check now whether the selected element also includes the price really. So far, I still had no luck, I suspect that will provide virtually no dealer nor the things about the price. But hope you know, die last, the extension is the way developed on Google Code, it is under the MIT license and the bug tracker error and new ideas are always welcome.
