Pat MySecret (ID: 0000000f565a0b8a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/06/2024 8/2024 This is a great program! But beware that some sites may hold a grudge on you for using it (they may see it as a spam bot etc ) and kick you off.. maybe forever.. or until you change your IP address. 6/2/22 Macro option requires paid subscription.

(ID: ) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/18/2024 June 2024 Update: The page detection silently failed and never told me (error "SELECTION_EMPTY error encountered"). That's right, it fails in the background, and then never notifies the user. So when you think it's working fine, it's actually not. I discovered an important page had changed and I was like "Wait, why didn't Distill Web Monitor tell me? I spent all this time setting this up!" Turns out it's just designed like garbage. 1/5 stars. DO NOT USE. ________ Original Review: Keeps popping up windows and interrupting browsing experience.

Tanges Yukon (ID: 000000eb52cea9d5) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/12/2024 From time to time, the extension just deletes your watchlist for no reason. They probably want you the be annoyed enough and go with their cloud subscription. Lame. Also, this thing is crashing 20 times a day; can't imagine ppl actually pay for this pos.

Max Mustermann (ID: 000000afb69b08eb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/17/2023 Крайне полезное расширение. Пользуюсь уже много лет для слежения за обновлениями страничек авторов в самиздате и на Автор.Тудей.

Laura Meier (ID: 000000c465dc8bbd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/08/2023 Worked exactly as intended. I wanted to check if a link to sign up to an event had been updated, and had already spent 4 hours sporadically clicking the link without success, since each time new dates were released they were booked up within a minute. It was fairly easy to set up Distill to monitor the page I wanted, and I got Distill to check automatically every 10 seconds, which is possible even on the free version - you need to make sure you're logged in and then go on the page desired, and then click the extension (it took me a few tries but it worked in the end!). Within 30 minutes of downloading the Distill extension, I received a popup notification with a sound on my laptop, and an email saying the page had changed. This meant I could sign up to the event in seconds. Amazing.
