Check4Change (C4C)

Check4Change is a user-friendly Firefox extension that automatically notifies you when selected parts of a web page change. Say goodbye to the constant reload button pressing! Simply mark the text you want to watch, set a time interval (like every 10 minutes), and relax.

Key Features:

  • Easy Monitoring: Select any text, right-click to set your monitoring frequency.
  • Real-Time Notifications: You'll receive notifications through a dancing icon, pop-ups, tab flashing, sound alerts, or even email notifications.

Note: This add-on currently monitors only open tabs and does not retain jobs after browser restarts. Stay tuned for future updates to enhance your monitoring experience!
