User reviews
Not a bad little extension. I use it for my phpBB forum, for checking unread threads, works perfectly. However, can do with some cosmetic work, maybe give the settings page a makeover. Other than that, good extension.
Helpful little extension for power users. Going a little beyond simple checking of Web content, it will allow you to define a regular expression for any page and either count the number of hits OR let you extract numbers to display directly. Clever.
Bugs:
* Does not handle unresponsive websites gracefully.
* Sometimes freezes and stops working for no apparent reason.
Excellent App!
