TabBot Extension

TabBot monitors and autorefreshes webpages from your browser and alerts you when a selected element on the page changes.

I got the idea while hunting for a PS5 and Xbox Series X during the holidays; I was refreshing my tabs every few minutes hoping to finally see that magic \"Buy Now\" button and thought: there must be a better way. I created TabBot and, within 24 hours, was able to purchase one after being alerted a payment button finally appeared on the page. The TabBot page monitor /autorefresher extension gives you peace of mind and allows you to do better things with your time than refreshing the same dozen pages over and over again. Simply leave TabBot running in the background and let it work like a fishing pole.

While there are other product monitors out there, they often require you to pay expensive membership fees or surrender reams of personal information to use. TabBot runs in your own browser and requires zero exchanges of data outside your local browser.

My goal is keep this app as open and accessible as possible and save my users time and stress; no one likes to endlessly manually refresh a page.

Pat MySecret (ID: 0000000f565a0b8a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/16/2021 Actually has a wide range of uses beyond just watching for sales items. Note that it only works on https not http. You draw a window around an area on a website, set timespan, and when the area changes.. ding, ding, ding.. you are notified. Works good as a YouTube video notifier. Let's me know when someone leaves a chat room. It's a challenge to select items at bottom of a website because the app menu appears there by default.

Allison Smith (ID: 0000009da8b14d1d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/08/2021 Easy to use alert for hard to find/very popular products. Also very helpful when checking for out-of-stock items in online stores that do not offer an alert for every individual product. Love it!
