| 2024-10-31 |  | | ru | После проверки изменений значок (число) на иконке не пропадает, хотя при нажатии показывает, что изменений нет. |
| 2024-09-11 |  | | ru | Расширение работает прекрасно, но с каждой проверкой потребляет больше и больше памяти. При проверках почти не жрет ЦП от этого и выбрал его. Visualping при проверках потребляет много цп, жрет больше памяти изначально и не позволяет проверить выбранный элемент проверки и вообще функционал более урезан. |
| 2024-07-16 |  | | en | How can I recover a list of the 250+ sites I was following?? I need to be able to import it into VisualPing. ASAP! |
| 2024-06-20 |  | | it | il migliore. gli altri non mi piacciono per niente. li ho provati tutti. ho letto qualche giorno fa che ci sta un metodo per farlo funzionare ma ci ho provato e non va. bisogna inserire una stringa. fra l'altro non ritrovo nemmeno più l'articolo. la cosa strana è perchè con chrome è l' unico a non funzionare mentre gli altri di si? |
| 2024-06-06 |  | | en | Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn |
| 2024-05-03 |  | | en | Shame this has died with the removal of WebSQL. I've been able to download & modify the extension to work with localStorage (only a few functions need changing in base.js) without much hassle if anyone from Visualping is interested? The only problem with be needing to move to Manifest v3 in the future. But as it stands, I have this extension fully working without using WebSQL. Previous Review: Still working well for me in 2023. The best thing is the ability to use CSS-style selectors to narrow the check down to specific area(s) of the page.. that makes it get 5 stars from me. Works great! |
| 2024-04-17 |  | | ja | 開発者の投稿よりも早くブラウザのアップデートが来てしまい、結果として登録していたサイトなど、データが一切閲覧できなくなってしまった。既にブラウザ側でSQL系の設定が消えており、開発者の動画で説明されている方法は実行が不可能になっている（動作が怪しくなっていた段階で、動画で説明されている方法は実行済みのはずだが）。データは残っているのだろうから、せめて登録していた URL の書き出しができる程度の機能だけでも提供してほしい。追記：当初インストールできなかった Visualping はインストール出来たので使用してみたが、数日後設定が全て飛び、登録サイト全てが空白に・・・。 Visualping のレビューにも、数年前に同様の投稿があり、これでは使い物にならない。開発者は英語以外の投稿を無視しているようなので（多言語が不得手だとしても、せめて機械翻訳ぐらい行ってみてほしい）、無視されるかもしれないが、念のため機械翻訳による英訳を下記に貼っておく。 The browser update came earlier than the developer's post, and as a result, I can no longer view any data, including sites I had registered. The browser has already lost its SQL-based settings, and the method described in the developer's video is no longer executable (although the method described in the video should have been executed at the stage when the behavior was becoming suspicious). Since the data may still be there, I would like you to provide at least a function to export the registered URLs. PS: I tried to use Visualping, which I could not install at first, because I could install it, but after a few days, all the settings were skipped and all the registered sites became blank.... The review of Visualping has a similar post from a few years ago, and this makes it useless. The developer seems to ignore non-English posts (even if they are not good at multilingualism, please at least try machine translation), so I'm posting the English translation below just in case it gets ignored. |

| 2024-04-22 |  | | en | Used this extension for years, even after VisualPing was released. Always preferred PageMonitor's accuracy and simplicity over VisualPing's unintuitive UI and focus on paid features. I especially dislike the lack of custom selectors which leads to a ton of false positives in VisualPing. "Pick Element" does not allow me to set/customize the element selector by ID, class or whatever to be more specific (and thus, more accurate pings), which is the main feature that made me prefer Page Monitor. With the Page Monitor extension effectively having shut down, it would've been nice if us users were informed about it beforehand so we could've backed up the jobs. Now it's all lost and we're stuck with an inferior alternative, so thanks a lot! |
