相比他的蹩脚中文化、只能通过正则自定义、锁定25条监测等,我更推荐大家试一下国人制作的这款“网页更新提醒”,虽然也有他自己的问题与毛病,但更符合国人习惯与更多的自由度,习惯之后更舒服一些。

This extension allows you to specify a part of a page to check for updates, which is useful for checking on sites that do not have RSS, etc. However, since this extension checks everything when the browser starts, it is slow to start. I think it would be more useful if you could specify when it starts.
