Хорошее расширение. Мне повезло, что зарегистрировался давно, еще тогда, когда давали отслеживать бесплатно до 250 сайтов. С тех пор старым пользователям эту возможность оставили. У меня нет нужды отслеживать в облаке и получать сообщения по почте, потому использую только отслеживание на устрйостве, и вот что бы я и купил, так это дополнительные мониторы, но такого выбора нет, нужно покупать и то, чем ты не будешь пользоваться.

"Distill Web Monitor has crashed. Click this balloon to reload the extension." Distill crashing constantly on Vivaldi browser. The first start up of Distill always seem to work, then the subsequent will crash until browser is completely shut down and restarted.
