Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Used to use Websitewatcher for quite awhile but was never satisfied with the inbuilt browser. So I decided to look for, specifically, a browser addon that could do the same thing.

I chose SiteDelta and I must say I'm impressed so far. It does everything I want it to.
* Check only regions of a page.
* Ignore numbers.
* Highlight changes.
And, what I consider a bonus, it can also check changes to images.

One feature that I didn't expect but love is how it can detect when you visit a monitored page manually and it shows you the changes.

The one real draw back is the lack of a permanent visual alert. If you miss the temporary popup the only way to know is there are changes is to open the sidebar. Unfortunately, I find myself reverting to just refreshing the page, which pretty much defeats the purpose of this addon.

Please add an option for permanent alerts until clicked (or page is visited).
