SiteDelta Watch is a powerful Chrome extension that regularly monitors webpages for updates. Once activated, it adds a small Delta icon to your browser's toolbar which you can click to enable watching the current page. When changes occur, it immediately notifies you and highlights the specific modifications, allowing you to cycle through all detected changes with ease. Additionally, you can define specific areas to monitor or ignore by adding scan or ignore regions, enabling precise control over the content you want to watch. For users who prefer manual checks or deals with pages heavily reliant on JavaScript, the companion extension, SiteDelta Highlight, offers optimized performance. Both extensions can be installed concurrently to maximize monitoring efficiency.

Ideal for professionals, researchers, and anyone needing timely updates from websites, SiteDelta Watch streamlines monitoring tasks with a user-friendly interface and flexible customization options. Keep track of website changes effortlessly and never miss important updates again with SiteDelta Watch.

User reviews

Users appreciate SiteDelta Watch for its automatic website monitoring, ease of use, and customization of areas to watch or ignore. The developer maintains it actively, enhancing its reliability. However, multiple users report false change alerts after recent updates. Some features like modifying monitored URLs and selecting specific page parts are limited or malfunctioning. Users also suggest improvements to the interface and language support.

Pros

Effectively monitors websites for changes automatically, saving users time and effort.
Easy to use with a good user interface and helpful features for specifying monitored areas.
Regularly improved and maintained by the developer, ensuring reliability.
Allows users to specify both areas to monitor and areas to ignore on pages.

Cons

Recently reports false positives by indicating changes on sites when none have occurred.
Lacks the ability to edit the URL of an existing monitoring entry without creating a new one.
Selecting specific parts or regions of a page to monitor does not always work properly.
User interface could be more intuitive and support additional language options.

Very Nice Product

以前利用していた別の拡張機能が使えなくなり困っていました。代替のいくつかの拡張機能は今ひとつ利便性に欠けるものだったのですが、こちらは使い勝手が良く助かっています。 I was having trouble with another extension I was using before because it was no longer available. Some of the alternative extensions were not very useful at the moment, but this one is very easy to use and helpful.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

SiteDelta Watch requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

SiteDelta Watch has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
