Easy to use, and it's free!
If you have a homeserver, this extension can be used to track the price of any page.
very complete with many notification options and customizable, perhaps it does not have a good interface but it is very functional 10/10
This addon is just great except one thing. I can't rid of blinking left tab which used by Dynamic site loading mechanism - pinned tab. I can't hide it, I can't make them not hiding auto and move my tabs string left and right, maybe you can help with this. The second Dynamic site loading mechanism - separate loaded window is less comfortable.
I've been using this for years to track prices of products and flights and I'm very happy with the results! One feature I'd like to see, which may not be possible, is if it can be set to use an existing opened tab to scan each time instead of opening a new one. The reason for this is on some pages (right now I'm on AA.com to track a flight) if I manually complete asearch for a flight my results show up. You can then refresh that page/tab you already have opened and it will "continue your session" and keep you active and refresh the search results. As soon as PageProbe runs a scan it opens a new tab with the same address as what I've manually searched for, but since it's a new tab AA.com sees it as a "new session" and gives me an error that my session has expired. I can continue to manually refresh the page where I did my manual search on, but PageProbe won't work since the website sees it as a new session and needs a new search. Any ideas or help on this would be greatly appreciated!
