User reviews

Visualping is praised for its effective, reliable website monitoring with a generous free tier and simple interface. Users find it powerful for diverse tasks such as tracking gear drops. However, multiple reviews highlight significant issues: the extension opens updated pages in new browser windows without options to use existing tabs, requires manual time settings for each monitor, and restricts job edits beyond renaming. Some users report JavaScript errors and security alerts from antivirus software, raising concerns that need clarification.

Generous free tier allowing many uses without payment.
Simple, easy to use, and reliable for various needs.

Cons

Opens updated pages in new windows without option to open in existing tabs, causing user inconvenience.
Lack of settings to batch change monitor check times, requiring manual adjustment for each job.
Limited ability to edit monitoring jobs post-creation, except for the job name.
Recent versions caused JavaScript errors on all web pages for some users.
Security concerns raised due to antivirus flagging it as malware for crypto mining.
